[2] [48] In these countries Brugada syndrome is likely to be responsible for many cases of sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS). Local names vary – in the Philippines the condition has been known as Bangungut meaning "a scream followed by sudden death during sleep", [ 48 ] while in Thailand it was known as Lai Tai , and in Japan ...
Based on death certificates, sudden cardiac death accounts for about 20% of all deaths in the United States. [ 151 ] [ 152 ] In the United States, approximately 326,000 cases of out-of-hospital and 209,000 cases of IHCA occur among adults annually, which works out to be an incidence of approximately 110.8 per 100,000 adults per year.
0.5-2% Depends largely on the age group of the person, earlier strains of COVID-19 had higher CFR of around 2%. [53] [54] [55] Lassa fever: Viral Treated ≈1% 15% in hospitalized patients; higher in some epidemics. [56] Mumps encephalitis: Viral Unvaccinated ≈1% [17]: 431 Pertussis (whooping cough), children in developing countries Bacterial
Sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome may refer to: Brugada syndrome , a genetic disorder in which the electrical activity within the heart is abnormal Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), a sudden unexpected death of adolescents and adults, mainly during sleep

Brugada syndrome is a genetic disease that can result in mutations in the sodium ion channel (gene SCN5A) of the myocytes in the heart. [10] Brugada syndrome can result in ventricular fibrillation and potentially death. It is a major cause of sudden unexpected cardiac death in young, otherwise healthy people. [11]
The CFR for the Spanish (1918) flu was greater than 2.5%, while the Asian (1957-58) and Hong Kong (1968-69) flus both had a CFR of about 0.2%. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] As of 03 Feb 2025, coronavirus disease 2019 has an overall CFR of 0.91%, although the CFRs of earlier strains of COVID-19 was around 2%, the CFRs for original SARS and MERS are about ...
Its fatality rate is about 65% even with prompt CPR and defibrillation, and more than 80% without. [4] [5] Age 35 serves as an approximate borderline for the likely cause of sudden cardiac death. Before age 35, congenital abnormalities of the heart and blood vessels predominate.
