Sudden cardiac death is a sudden death due to various cardiac causes. It can occur in patients with or without heart disease, often without any life-threatening premonitory manifestations, with sudden loss of consciousness and spontaneous death within one hour after the onset of acute symptoms, characterized by an unexpectedly rapid death. The most common cause of sudden death is coronary heart disease, while sudden cardiac death can also occur in patients with undiagnosed heart disease.  Sudden cardiac death is often caused by one’s own heart disease, overexertion, mental and nervous overexcitement, excitement, full meals, staying up late, drinking alcohol, and excessive smoking. It can occur hours or weeks before the onset of chest pain, palpitation and shortness of breath, dyspnea, extreme weakness, gastrointestinal discomfort, angina pectoris, profuse sweating, shoulder and neck, and arm pain. There are also patients with no obvious aura symptoms at the time of sudden death.  In addition to systematic treatment of heart disease and strict control of blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, sudden increase in physical labor, high tension, overexertion, and prolonged late night can all increase the chance of sudden death. Therefore, in the busy work life, arrange work and family affairs more reasonably and adjust their lifestyles, not only can improve the efficiency of work, but also can better protect themselves.
