The most common causes of unexpected sudden cardiac death sometimes referred to as SADS in the young
(under 35)

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Symptoms and severity can vary from person to person. They may
begin in infancy, childhood or in middle or elderly life. Some patients never have any symptoms of
HCM and the disease can cause unexpected sudden death during or after excessive exertion.

The reason for the onset of symptoms is not known and no particular symptom or complaint is unique
to HCM sufferers. Many do not even realise that they have the disease and it is not until a member
of the family presents that other family members are screened and are found to have the condition.
As it is a hereditary condition if a parent presents then there is a 50% chance that each child will
also have the disease.

The most common symptoms of HCM are:

Shortness of breath
Chest pains (usually brought on by physical exertion)
Palpitations (rapid, irregular heart beat)
Light-headedness, blackouts
If you suffer from any of these symptoms it does not mean that you necessarily have HCM but if you
visit your General Practitioner he/she may suggest that you undertake some tests any may refer you
to a cardiologist (a heart specialist).

to all xxxxxx

thankyou to all whom light candles and visit this site and leave tributes for their loved lost angels to s-a-d-s ..
it is such a lonely loss to bare ,not many people understand the death /the reason ..and it is such a difficult loss to explain ,especially like when i try to explain vickys death in 2003 for her there is still no answer why a healthy happy 20 yr old girl can just collapse and die from a heart condition we never knew she had ..

love to you all always xxxx

Jackie Harrap Mum T Sads Loss (Mother) May 30, 2009

I lost my beautiful 19 year old son to SADS on 25th August 2008. He woke up and just died. Post mortems were inconclusive so his heart was sent to the Royal Bromton, still inconclusive - possibly channelopathy. We need to be tested now.

The pain is unbearable, having no reason makes no sense. Someone recently said that the angels had just come and taken him.

If you go to Jase's page you will see the kind, generous, special person he was. The world is a much sadder place without him.

My friend Matthew is running this year's London Marathon in Jase's name to raise money for CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) and also to raise awareness how many young people die this way. You can visit his page at

Gob Bless Jase, sleep well. xx

Sarah Pennington (Mother) March 26, 2009

I lost my beautiful daughter to SADS in 2001 we have been tested and found to have LONG QT syndrome my eldest daughter her daughter and most lightly my greatgrandaughter and my self WHY couldnt it have been me ??? my girl has 2 beautiful sons who miss her so much they thank god do not have the gene. The worst thing about this awful thing is that I will never be 100% sure this is the reason my girl passed away as they could not get enough DNA as so much time had passed (5 years)by the time the test could be done after death It may be 99% that is why she passed but I need 100% answers as to ????????????
