Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Sudden Arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS)​ is a genetic heart condition that can suddenly cause death in young healthy people ​it is caused by
A
the heart beating too quickly causing it to over work
B
not enough adrenaline being released for exercise
C
the hearts natural rhythm becoming disrupted and causing it to stop
D
the septum not separating oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the heart
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SADS is very preventable, if warning signs lead to the diagnosis of one of these genetic conditions, or if a family undergoes screening once one member of the family is known to have a problem. Death and arrhythmias can be prevented with tablets or an internal defibrillator placed next to the heart, under the rib cage.

Detailed explanation-2: -The series of tests include an ECG, echocardiogram, exercise test and the ajmaline provocation test – a procedure used to reveal abnormal electrical activity in the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -SADS is not the same as a heart attack (also called a myocardial infarction) as it is not caused by a blockage but an arrhythmia. “Sudden and unexpected deaths during sleep of young adults” were first noted in medical literature in 1917.
