Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

To comprehend SCA, it serves to see how the heart functions. The heart has an electrical framework that controls the rate and cadence of the pulse. Issues with the heart's electrical framework can result in spasmodic heartbeats called arrhythmias (ah-RITH-me-ahs).

There are numerous sorts of arrhythmias. Amid an arrhythmia, the heart can pulsate excessively quick, excessively abate, or with a sporadic cadence. A few arrhythmias can result in the heart to quit pumping blood to the body—these arrhythmias cause SCA.

SCA is not the same as an issue assault. A heart assault happens if blood stream to a piece of the heart muscle is blocked. Amid a heart assault, the heart normally doesn't all of a sudden quit pulsating. SCA, notwithstanding, may happen after or amid recuperation from a heart assault.

Individuals who have coronary illness are at higher danger for SCA. Notwithstanding, SCA can happen in individuals who seem sound and have no known coronary illness or other danger variables for SCA.
