Lời mở đầu: Bóc trần mối đe dọa thầm lặng

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, drenched in cold sweat, clutching your chest as if a giant weight is pressing down on you. Difficulty breathing and overwhelming chest pain are not simply a nightmare; they can be the harbingers of sudden death.
