What is the cause of sudden cardiac death

Sudden cardiac death usually refers to sudden cardiac death. The causes of sudden cardiac death are related to acute myocardial infarction, cardiac concussion and other reasons. Hypertension generally also induces diseases.

1. Basic causes

1. Acute myocardial infarction

in patients with acute myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia may occur locally, long-term myocardial ischemia will occur, due to limited blood supply to myocardial tissue, there will usually be sudden cardiac death.

2. Cardiac concussion

If the chest wall is violently shaken during the activity process, such as falling from a height, chest wall pounding, etc., the heart will be affected, and serious heart structure will be damaged, so it will form diseases.

2. Predisposing factors

If there is hypertension, under the influence of long-term high blood pressure, atherosclerosis may gradually occur in the arteries, blood will accumulate in the arteries and affect circulation for a long time, so it will increase the probability of sudden cardiac death.
