Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) are genetic heart conditions that can cause sudden death in young, apparently healthy people. These conditions can be treated and deaths can be prevented. SADS conditions cause nearly 4,000 deaths of children and young people every year in the United States. The warning signs are:
-Family history of unexpected, unexplained sudden death in a young person
-Fainting (syncope) or seizure during exercise, excitement or startle
-Consistent or unusual chest pain and/or shortness of breath during exercise
About the SADS Foundation
Formed in 1992, the SADS (Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes) Foundation’s mission is to save the lives and support the families of children & young adults who are genetically predisposed to sudden death due to heart rhythm abnormalities. We are committed to promoting the early detection and treatment of these conditions throughout the world. The Foundation distributes materials internationally through grass roots efforts in order to teach families, educators and medical professionals about SADS conditions.
