	Sudden Cardiac Death
		Sudden death from cardiac arrest is a major health problem that's received much less publicity than heart attack.
		Sudden cardiac death (also called sudden arrest) is death resulting from an abrupt loss of heart function (cardiac arrest).
		The term "heart attack" refers to death of heart muscle tissue due to the loss of blood supply, not necessarily resulting in a cardiac arrest or the death of the heart attack victim.
