The death comes suddenly, very quickly, before the arrival of the ambulance, under an apparent external health, unexpectedly for other people, and in the absence of an external factor. Place of death - physical education classes, sports field, institutions for learning activities and public place. A 10-year-old study of the causes of sudden death in young persons has been carried out. <span style=font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: times= new= roman,serif;mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-bidi-font-style:= italic=>1.2 <span style=font-size:10.0pt;font-family: times= new= roman,serif;mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-bidi-font-style:italic=>Objective: An objective of the work is to study the structure, causes and risk factors of the sudden death in a young age. <span style=font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: times= new= roman,serif;mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-bidi-font-style:= italic=>1.3 <span style=font-size:10.0pt;font-family: times= new= roman,serif;mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-bidi-font-style:italic=>Results: The result of our own investigations of death cases of persons aged up to 39 years on the basis of forensic autopsies for 10 years allowed to find that the pathology of the cardiovascular system caused by connective tissue dysplasia is one of the causes of the sudden death of young persons. Arrhythmia is the main mechanism of sudden cardiac death in young persons. The factors that trigger the onset of death: sports activity, physical exercise, psycho-emotional stress, intake of low-alcoholic drinks. <span style=font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: times= new= roman,serif;mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-bidi-font-style:= italic=>1.4 <span style=font-size:10.0pt;font-family: times= new= roman,serif;mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-bidi-font-style:italic=>Conclusions: Early detection of signs of connective tissue pathology and heart disease will allow to develop preventive measures against the onset of sudden death. 2.
