| The term '''sudden cardiac death''' refers to [[natural death]] from cardiac causes, heralded by abrupt loss of [[consciousness]] within one hour of the onset of acute symptoms.<ref>Myerburg, Robert J. "Cardiac Arrest and Sudden Cardiac Death" in ''Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine,'' 7th edition. Philadelphia: WB Saunders, 2005.</ref> Other forms of sudden death may be noncardiac in origin. Examples of this include respiratory arrest (such as due to airway obstruction, which may be seen in cases of [[choking]] or [[asphyxiation]]), toxicity or poisoning, [[anaphylaxis]], or trauma.<ref>[http://poptop.hypermart.net/sudden.html Sudden Unexpected Death: Causes and Contributing Factors] on poptop.hypermart.net.</ref>

| It is important to make a distinction between this term and the related term '''[[cardiac arrest]]''', which refers to cessation of cardiac pump function which may be reversible (i.e., may not be fatal). The phrase '''Sudden Cardiac Death''' is a [[public health]] concept incorporating the features of ''natural'', ''rapid'', and ''unexpected''. It does not specifically refer to the mechanism or cause of death. Although the most frequent underlying cause of Sudden Cardiac Death is [[Coronary Artery Disease]], other categories of causes are listed below.
