How common is sudden adult death syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very uncommon: Sudden adult death, or perhaps, sudden Cardiac death, is actually very rare in adults without structural heart disease or heart attack. These are caused by electrical problems with the heart. They are first diagnosed by an EKG with your doctor, and are referred to a specialist, lie myself, who specializes in that.
