(Wow that didn't take long to hit the lame stream.   bla.. bla what's next Here's some of the comments from them in bullshit media,  I think SADS top of the pops goes to comment .....(drum roll)... "it's a diagnosis of nothing"! ) ~ Young people with a particular family history are being urged to get their hearts screened even if they are fit and healthy, as they could be at risk of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

Also known as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (Sads), it is an "umbrella term to describe unexpected deaths in young people", usually under 40, when a post-mortem examination can find no obvious cause of death, according to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP)

"[It allows you to see] people have had the cardiac arrest and no cause was found on the back end," she said.

Paratz said the lack of awareness around the issue was likely because "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," she said.

"I think even doctors underestimate it. We only see the 10 per cent who survive and make it to hospital. We only see the tip of the iceberg."

For family and friends of victims, Sads is a "very hard entity to grasp" because it's a "diagnosis of nothing".

"All you know is it wasn't drugs, suicide, trauma or heart attack," Paratz said. "You're still left wondering what it was."

She stressed that the terms "heart attack" and "cardiac arrest" were often mixed up.

How many young new parents(mostly poor) have been thrown in prison because a so called "doctor" murdered their newborn with some jabby jab concoction(67 different poisons) and when baby died it was "SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME or SIDS .
