Am I reading this right? Cardiac sudden death has outpaced the traditional #1 killer in every single modern society. Not just outpaced, but absolutely crushed.
See line 2. Does "Road Toll" mean vehicle deaths or just average rates of CA before? If this is vehicle, this is a huge red pill.
-New research shows cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death for Australians under 50, but many victims have no prior symptoms
-Researchers say the cardiac arrest death rate is more than five times the road toll in the same age group
+They say improved genetic testing could help to significantly lower the death rate
Edit: Fixed link
I'm sure there are also more than a few car deaths caused by sudden and unexpected heart attacks.
