Sudden cardiac death can occur unexpectedly in individuals without known heart conditions, often revealing silent cardiovascular diseases like coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathies. Experts highlight that both 'apparently fit' and 'truly fit' young people may face risks due to underlying factors such as hypertension, metabolic issues, or extreme physical exertion. Emotional stress is also identified as a significant trigger, causing physiological changes that can precipitate cardiac events. Preventive cardiology and attention to subtle symptoms are emphasized to identify hidden risks early.
