[[Sudden cardiac death]] is a natural, rapid, unexpected [[death]] secondary to [[cardiac]] causes other than conditions such as [[trauma]] and [[drowning]]. [[Sudden cardiac arrest]] is defined as the unexpected cessation of pumping [[blood]] into vital [[organs]] due to electrical disturbance in the pathway of [[sinoatrial node]] ([[SA node]]), [[atrioventricular node]] ([[AV node]]), [[His Purkinje fibers]] or  [[cardiac]] pumping failure due to [[cardiogenic shock]], massive [[pulmonary thromboembolism]],[[fulminant myocarditis]], and [[ruptured left ventricular free wall]]. Without any intervention for immediate restoration of the [[circulation]], [[biologic death]] will happen minutes to weeks after [[cardiac arrest]]. [[Sudden cardiac death]] in the United States ranges from 300,000 to 400,000 which is 50% of all causes of deaths. <ref name="pmid21513133">{{cite journal| author=Haissaguerre M, Hocini M, Sacher F, Shah A| title=[Sudden cardiac death, a major scientific challenge]. | journal=Bull Acad Natl Med | year= 2010 | volume= 194 | issue= 6 | pages= 983-93; discussion 993-5 | pmid=21513133 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21513133  }} </ref> In-hospital [[cardiac arrest]] happens in 290,000 adults every year in the United States.
