So far, only two diseases have been successfully eradicated—one specifically affecting humans (smallpox) and one affecting cattle (rinderpest).
Many of the diseases that have been eradicated (smallpox and rinderpest) or targeted for elimination by WHO, such as polio, malaria, measles and rubella, are present in multiple countries.
The most common causes of non-ischemic sudden cardiac death are cardiomyopathy related to obesity, alcoholism, and fibrosis. In patients younger than 35, the most common cause of sudden cardiac death is a fatal arrhythmia, usually in the context of a structurally normal heart.
Corynebacterium diphtheriae produces a gray pseudomembrane from the pharynx to the larynx, and this may lead to respiratory obstruction and sudden death. Legionnaire's disease is associated with outbreaks of sudden death.
