There is such a thing as sudden cardiac death. This has to do with an electrical problem with the heart which causes an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) that is not compatible with life. If a person has a family history of sudden cardiac death they should probably be evaluated by a cardiologist. There may not be any signs or symptoms. Many times this is what happens to young athletes although it is not limited to one age group. This is different from a heart attack, which is related to an interruption in the blood flow through the coronary arteries which surround the heart. This can also be fatal, but is usually preceded by chest discomfort, such as pressure, tightness or aching. Also can be associated with radiation into the arms, neck or jaw. Sometimes nausea and sweating occur.
