Young Healthy People Are Dying from Mysterious Syndrome

People under the age of 40 are being encouraged to have their hearts
checked because they might be at risk of a mysterious syndrome
called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome or SADS.
According to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners
(RACGP), SADS is an ‘umbrella term to describe unexpected deaths
that commonly occur in young people under the age of 40’
The term is used when a post-mortem can’t find an obvious cause of
death.
Apparently doctors are now seeking ‘answers’ through a new national
register….but why do they along with the media not see what is really
going on? Why is there no mention of the covid vaccinations?
The Mail Online rports (https://bit.ly/3Q9aNWR): The US-based SADS
Foundation has said that over half of the 4,000 annual SADS deaths
of children, teens or young adults have one of the top two warning
signs present.
Those signs include a family history of a SADS diagnosis or sudden
unexplained death of a family member, and fainting or seizure during
exercise, or when excited or startled, reported news.com.au

Last year a 31-year-old woman, Catherine Keane, died in her sleep
while living with two friends in Dublin.
Her mother Margherita Cummins told the Irish Mirror, ‘They were
all working from home so no one really paid attention when Catherine
didn’t come down for breakfast.’
‘They sent her a text at 11.20am and when she didn’t reply, they
checked her room and found she had passed.
‘Her friend heard a noise in her room at 3.56am and believes now that
is when she died.’ 
Ms Cummins stated that her daughter ‘went to the gym and walked
10,000 steps every day’.
‘I take some comfort in that she went in her sleep and knew no pain
and I’m grateful for that. I always worried about the kids driving in
the car but never saw this coming. I never thought I’d ever lose
a child in my life,’ 
Melbourne’s Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is developing the
country’s first SADS registry.  
‘There are approximately 750 cases per year of people aged under
50 in Victoria suddenly having their heart stop (cardiac arrest),’ a
spokesperson said.
‘Of these, approximately 100 young people per year will have no
cause found even after extensive investigations such as a full
autopsy (SADS phenomenon).’
Cardiologist and researcher Dr Elizabeth Paratz said: ‘Baker’s
registry was the first in the country and one of only a few in the
world that combined ambulance, hospital and forensics information.’
‘(It allows you to see) people have had the cardiac arrest and no
cause was found on the back end,’ Dr Paratz said.
She believes the potential lack of awareness may be due to the fact
‘a lot of it takes place outside of traditional medical settings’.
‘The majority of these SADS events, 90 per cent, occur outside the
hospital – the person doesn’t make it – so it’s actually ambulance
staff and forensics caring for the bulk of these patients,’ Dr Paratz
said. 
‘I think even doctors underestimate it. We only see the 10 percent
who survive and make it to hospital. We only see the tip of the
iceberg ourselves.’
For family and friends of victims, SADS is a ‘very hard entity to
grasp’ because it’s a ‘diagnosis of nothing’, Dr Paratz added.
Dr Paratz said that from a public health perspective, combating SADS
was ‘not as easy as everyone in Australia getting genetically
screened’ as scientists were still not 100 percent clear on ‘what
genes cause this’.
‘The best advice would be, if you yourself have had a first-degree
relative – a parent, sibling, child – who’s had an unexplained death,
it’s extremely recommended you see a cardiologist,’ she said.
