A cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body. Although it's sometimes mistaken for a heart attack, a cardiac arrest is different.
A statement from the Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team said: "At approximately 1pm the team received a request from Welsh Ambulance Service for assistance with a male in Cardiac Arrest on Cadair Idris.
"The team deployed in support of Welsh Air Ambulance and Coastguard Helicopter R936.
"Unfortunately, despite ongoing attempts the man remained unresponsive and was declared deceased at the scene.
"Our thoughts remain with family and friends at this difficult time."
