A heart attack, medically known as myocardial infarction, occurs when a blood clot blocks a coronary artery, causing heart muscle cells to die due to lack of blood supply. About 90% of sudden cardiac deaths are caused by acute myocardial infarction.

According to the World Health Organization, sudden death refers to cases where generally healthy or seemingly healthy individuals unexpectedly die within a short period due to natural disease. This short period is usually within one hour of symptom onset, and no longer than six hours.

The People’s Daily has reported that the incidence of sudden death is showing a trend of youthfulness. Young sudden death victims often have three characteristics: “no prior illness, no warning signs, rapid progression,” making early warning and prevention more difficult.
