What are the causes of sudden death?

Causes that can lead to sudden death include: acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis and so on.
1. Acute myocardial infarction: severe acute myocardial infarction can lead to the destruction of cardiac structure, such as papillary muscle dysfunction and rupture, ventricular free wall rupture, etc., and the patient’s myocardial systolic and diastolic dysfunction occurs, which can lead to acute sudden death.
2. Pulmonary embolism: pulmonary embolism refers to endogenous or exogenous embolus blockage of pulmonary artery, when the embolism site is large, the patient will have severe respiratory distress, and untimely treatment may lead to myocardial ischemic sudden death.
3. Cerebral hemorrhage: cerebral hemorrhage can cause increased intracranial pressure, which can lead to cerebral hernia in severe cases, and without active treatment, it can cause respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest, which can lead to death.
4. Acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis: protease enters the bloodstream during the onset of the disease, which can prompt the prothrombin to turn into thrombin, and the patient will have intravascular coagulation, which will lead to death.
It is recommended to develop good habits in daily life, regular medical checkups, and timely medical treatment if you feel unwell.
