Natural death happens. It must be differentiated from other ways of dying (suicide, homicide, accidental).
By system
Respiratory[1]
- Anaphylaxis.
- Asthma.
- Pulmonary embolism.
Cerebral
- SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy).
Cardiac
- Atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD); AKA coronary artery disease (CAD).
- Right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
- Arrhythmia.
Detailed cardiac[1]
- CAD, hypertrophic CM.
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
- Lymphocytic myocarditis.
- Floppy mitral valve (MV).
- Aortic valve stenosis.
- Congenital cardiac abnormality.
- Coronary artery dissection.
- Aortic dissection.
- Arrhythmia.
- Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, short QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic VT, anomalous conduction pathways, dysplasia of nodal arteries, atrioventricular node tumour.
By mechanism
Hemorrhagic[1]
- Ruptured AAA.
- Peptic ulcer.
- Cerebral aneurysm.
