Abstract	The surge in sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs), especially among the young, has become a global concern impacting economies and healthcare systems. In Western societies, SCD accounts for up to 20% of all deaths, while in the United States, it is the primary cause of cardiovascular-related mortality. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and SCD, stemming from cardiac activity disruption, necessitate urgent intervention, with defibrillation playing a crucial role. In the Indian context, challenges arise from the incomplete determination of causes of death. The limited application of the Medical Certification of Cause of Death (MCCD) contributes to this issue. A population-based study in India reveals a substantial SCD rate, estimating approximately 700,000 cases annually. India faces a burgeoning cardiovascular crisis, necessitating proactive strategies to prevent heart diseases and SCDs. Prioritizing preventive measures, public awareness, and emergency response are critical components. By embracing these measures and campaigns, such as FIT INDIA and EAT RIGHT, India can pave the way for a healthier future and reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases and SCDs.
