A thing I've learned about stats. You don't want medical doctors dealing with numbers and you don't want numbers people providing medical services.
Here are my concerns with what you referenced. Not oranges to oranges (
@Orangeslice13) The Maron article embedded in your article clearly states data collection was much more limited until mid 90s. In the final year of the study (2006), there were 76 sudden cardiac deaths in the US for those 19 and under. The U.S. population (the denominator) was 298 million in 2006 and was age limited.
Your article shows 1616 cardiac Arrests and 1100+ deaths over almost 2 years. It includes people all over the world (denominator of 7.9 billion), includes former athletes up to their 80s, includes non athletes with prior health issues (Mike Leach), includes people with prior known seizure/cardio issues.
Again, your article is comparing apples to tangerines to oranges to grapefruits....
