Sudden death among those below 40 on the rise, says doctor


KUALA LUMPUR: An increasing number of the adult population aged 40 and below are experiencing Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) mainly caused by cardiac arrest and stroke.

Heart Bit E-ECP Wellness Centre founder Dr S. Denesh said this may be due to shock to the cardiovascular system stemming from a sudden increase in physical activity after a prolonged period of lack of such activities during the Covid-19 lockdown.
