Understanding Of
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
With This Expert Report
Are you aware that sudden cardiac arrest has early warning signs and symptoms? Did you
know heart attack is the number one cause of death in the US? Did you know that stroke is the
leading cause of disability? If you have answered 'no' to any of these questions, you need to
watch this expert report.
A leading healthcare company focused
on preventing heart attacks, stroke,
type 2 diabetes, cognitive decline, and
other chronic diseases has launched a
new expert report video on sudden
cardiac death.
The newly launched report highlights medical evidence and studies
that suggest sudden cardiac death might not be as sudden as first
thought.
Medical evidence suggests there
are often early warning signs and
symptoms associated with sudden
cardiac death.
In case you are wondering, one study suggests that out of 406 cases,
66% had known cardiac disease, 80% had symptoms prior to their
cardiac arrest, and 33% experienced angina for more than an hour.
This amount of time provides an
opportunity for patients to get to
a hospital or doctor to avoid a
cardiac arrest.
The report highlights a typical case study of a non-smoking patient aged 58
with an unremarkable family history who presented with high blood pressure,
which was being treated with controlled medications.
After issues with their blood pressure,
doctors carried out a stress test and
adjusted medication, which was fine,
until six weeks later when the patient
collapsed.
CPR was carried out by their co-workers until the EMS arrived approximately four
minutes after being called. The EMS provided three defibrillations and shortly thereafter
arrived at the hospital, where the patient was pronounced dead owing to a plaque on
his left anterior.
Although the patient had had a
stress test, the expert team argue
people undertaking stress tests can
achieve a false negative and still
suffer sudden cardiac death.
A company spokesperson said: “Heart attack is the number one cause of
death in the US, while stroke is the leading cause of disability. Heart attack
is the cause of sudden cardiac death."
"If you can predict a heart attack,
you can predict sudden cardiac
arrest,” they added.
