THE
"BASIC
LAW''TO
PREVENT SUDDEN
DEATH
Sudden deaths can
occur
at any
age but are
mostly
due
to
heart
diseases, especially coronaries.
The
coronaries harden and
fail
to supply
enough blood
to
the heart.
Acute
myocardial infarct (death
of
heart
muscle)
is
also
common. lrregular heart
beats
account
for 250,000 deaths
in
USA. Rarer
causes are rupture
of
aortic
aneurysm
(abnormal
pockets
leading to
weakness
of the
main
artery), e.9., as part of the
"Marfan
Syndrome"; even
high blood
pressure
can cause
a
dissecting
aneurysm...
Symptoms
preceding sudden
death
are
chest discomfort, pain,
shortness
of
breath,
fast
heart beats, dizziness
or a general
weakness,
lf
these
symp-
toms occur, or
if
there is chest
pain
upon
exertion,
or
if
existing
symptoms
worsen, consult a doctor at
once.
Precipitating factors are
heavy
smoking, narcotics
and drug
abuse,
the worst
is getting
drunk
-
the
commonest
event associated
with
sudden death.
Have
periodic
physical
examinations;
stop
smoking;
avold
heavy
drinking
-
celebrations and good
moods are not excuses to get drunk;
avoid over-weight
-
have regular physi-
cal exercises; treat all high blood pres-
sures religiously
-
by
continual
medication, reduction
of
workload,
more relaxation, regular
living
and
adequate
sleep; check
blood
cholesterol. Above
all,
encourage
learning
of
cardio-pulmonary
resusci-
tation
-
it
saves lives!
