muerte súbita cardíaca (SCD, por sus siglas en inglés)

A death due to electrical problems in the heart. SCD is usually caused by ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. SCD is different from a heart attack, which results from heart muscle damage from blood flow blockage, rather than an electrical problem. SCD commonly results from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
