In the study, researchers assessed 903 cases of sudden cardiac deaths that occurred in young people aged between one and 36 years in Sweden between 2000 and 2010.

SADS was found to have been the cause of 22 per cent of these sudden cardiac deaths.

Around half (52 per cent) of the people who passed away from SADS experienced symptoms beforehand:

These included:

Palpitations
Fainting
Nausea and vomiting
Signs related to suffering from an infection

Thirty three per cent of the SADS patients had been previously visited A&E or been hospitalised 180 days before their death.

Fainting episodes were behind 4.2 per cent of SADS's sufferers hospitalisations.

Meanwhile, 3.5 per cent of them were treated for convulsions, also known as seizures.

Only 11 per cent had previously been diagnosed with heart rhythm issues and 18 per cent of them had ECGs that revealed some sort of heart condition.

A condition called pre-excitation – where part of the cardiac ventricles are activated too early – was the most common finding.

In total, 17 per cent had been diagnosed with a psychiatric condition and 11 per cent had been prescribed drugs for it.
