Here is what Cleveland Clinic says about sudden cardiac death, which they classify as a type of arrhythmia:

http://my.clevelandclinic.org/heart/disorders/electric/scd.aspx

“Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a sudden, unexpected death caused by loss of heart function (sudden cardiac arrest). Sudden cardiac death is the largest cause of natural death in the United States, causing about 325,000 adult deaths in the United States each year. Sudden cardiac death is responsible for half of all heart disease deaths.”

“Sudden cardiac arrest is not a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Heart attacks occur when there is a blockage in one or more of the coronary arteries, preventing the heart from receiving enough oxygen-rich blood. If the oxygen in the blood cannot reach the heart muscle, the heart becomes damaged.

“In contrast, sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the electrical system to the heart malfunctions and suddenly becomes very irregular. The heart beats dangerously fast.”

“What are the risk factors of sudden cardiac arrest?”

“OBESITY”

Long list of many conditions Fuddy may or may not have had or been known to her brother, however obesity is an obvious risk factor for arrhythmia that she had

Isn’t that what they finally determined for Breitbart also? He didn’t have the kind of blockage that would have caused a heart attack; they said it was something with the electrical impulses.

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t potassium have an immediate impact on the electrical impulses in the heart, as well as other potential drugs? I think you mentioned something to that effect earlier, justice.

Yeah the sidewalks in our cities are just littered with dead fat people. So are the malls and Wal-Marts. Pretty soon all the fat people will be dead and arrhythmia will be a thing of the past.
