Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of Sudden Cardiac deaths (SCD). SCD in young individuals particularly who are asymptomatic cause huge emotional shockto the family members who are left bewildered by this sudden mis-happening. We report a case of a sudden cardiac death in a healthy youth with no previous complaints who died in his normal routine while going to office. The authors aim to highlight the presence of undiagnosed heart disease in young individuals so that preventive steps may be taken for early diagnosis and treatment. The authors also intend to add to the Medical literature about the incidence of CAD in young individuals.

Keywords: Sudden Cardiac Death; Coronary Artery disease; Atherosclosis; Ventricular Arrythmia; Myocardial Iscaemia.
