Newlyweds flew from Spain by Flight Barcelona — Chelyabinsk, when a 24-year-old man suddenly became bad. Accidentally who turned out to be on board the resuscitator supported the condition of the guy for two hours. The crew decided to make an emergency landing in Moscow, but you could not save the young man. As it turned out later, this man actively engaged in sports and led a healthy lifestyle.
Ambulance Brigade arrived at the airport «Sheremetyevo» Two hours after landing, when a young man was still alive, but as a result of the ineffectiveness of resuscitation events, he died in fifteen minutes.
All further events will be analyzed in detail by various investigative bodies. How could this happen? Why the help was not rendered immediately after landing? But today we are looking for an answer to another question: why a sudden heart death takes young people?
Cases are known when a heart stopped at the 20-year-old pitfast right in sports fees, a 16-year-old boxer died in training, and two days after the responsible match died 25-year-old goalkeeper of one of the football teams. The most terrible in these sad stories is that there were no harbors or health problems with these young people.
What is a syndrome of sudden cardiac death?
This condition develops suddenly and instantly, literally an hour after the changes arising in the human health state. Usually victims are young men. With natural loads, the heart works in normal mode, but additional overvoltage can provoke the development of sudden heart failure. Emotional overloads may be predisposing, the effect of toxic tools, serious metabolic disorders. At the time of the impact of provoking factors, there are usually no disease manifestations. Unfortunately, the development of this syndrome is impossible to predict and diagnose in advance.
In most cases, the cause of instant cardiac death becomes an acute circulatory disorder in the heart vessels — Coronary insufficiency. Due to this instantly develops a violation of heart rhythm or flickering of ventricles. Syndrome manifests itself a sudden loss of consciousness, lack of breathing and pulse on a carotid artery, the expansion of pupils.
But why handsome, athletes and young people?
In order to answer this question, you should understand and allocate the main risk factors for sudden cardiac death. The statistics of the World Health Organization says that 1 million people per week account for 30 sudden deaths, which is 15–20% of all deaths. According to experts, risk factors include:
- genetic predisposition;
- hereditary violation of heart rhythm;
- Heart diseases that an athlete may suffer, not even suspect of them;
- high blood pressure;
- infectious diseases;
- carious teeth;
- serious physical exertion and emotional shocks during training and competitions;
- Alcohol and tobacco.
Among the risk factors should be allocated not only by ultra-high physical activity, but also the opposite state, the Beach of the Contemporary Men — Hydodina. The regrettable list continues obesity and hypercholesterolemia.
A man's patient is usually addressed to the doctor (unless, of course, in general appeals) when there are already all sorts of complications. Even with the development of myocardial infarction, men do not want to call the ambulance brigade, hoping that this is so, «got sick for a minute and will soon pass».
This is the main trouble of sudden cardiac death — Loss of golden minutes when the so-called «Therapeutic window» is only six hours. Approximately three minutes after a sudden stopping of blood circulation in the cells of the cortex of the brain, irreversible changes occur, so the help in this case should come as soon as possible. The effectiveness of treatment is to start resuscitation manipulations in a timely manipulation timely. This is exactly what happened at the airport «Sheremetyevo». Relatives are sure that the guy could be saved.
How to avoid terrible syndrome?
Understanding that sudden heartfall syndrome develops more often from representatives of strong sex, boys, young men and men need to be periodically examined at the therapist and cardiologist and strictly implement the recommendations of the doctor. These include:
- echocardiography or heart ultrasound;
- electrocardiography (ECG);
- Daily monitoring of the electrocardiogram (using the Holet apparatus).
Given the results of the surveys, it is necessary to listen to the council of the specialist and change the way of life, having resigned with all the necessary restrictions.
Prevention and care — Pledge of health
In this chapter, it is necessary to mention that practically all heart disease does not have primary prevention.

Health — item is very fragile and care for it can not postpone «for later». How does the prevention of this dangerous syndrome look like? It lies in the prevention of ailments that can lead to a sad and unexpected final: hypertensive and ischemic diseases. Prevention should begin at the young age and throughout life.
