Defective gene causes sudden cardiac death

"A defective gene causes sudden cardiac death in many young people, says a new study. Researchers at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University have found that in at least ten per cent of cases in Europe, sudden cardiac death in young people is due to a cardiac gene defect, the 'Deutsches Arzteblatt International' journal reported. Sudden cardiac death is defined as unexpected death occurring rapidly - usually within one hour of the onset of symptoms - in persons previously seemed to be healthy" - Zeenews
