Sounds more like a sudden cardiac arrest rather than a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Sudden cardiac arrest is more likely to drop someone like a sack of potatoes.

True. I worked as a Cardiac Nurse for years Has anyone mentioned what type of Cardiac problem he had? He could have been plagued by disrhythmias not just CAD.

You should study up a bit....cardiac sudden death is from infarction or a rythym block...which results in a rythym disturbance of a fatal nature

Cardiac sudden death is caused by infarction...as in a result of the muscle starving for oxgenated blood

They are cause and effect...not two distinct maladies
