Structural abnormalities of the heart, inflammation of the heart muscle, etc, are some other causes of sudden cardiac arrest in young adults.Can you prevent sudden cardiac death? Here are a few steps that individuals can take to help prevent sudden cardiac death: ...
Causes of Cardiac Arrest In Adults Looking for causes of cardiac arrest is a little bit like looking for causes of why the car broke down—it's a really large list. Cardiac arrest can be caused by almost any type of heart condition.4 Below are some common causes of cardiac arrest in a...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young adults is an uncommon event, yet it is devastating to families who lose a child so suddenly and unexpectedly. Sudden cardiac death is end result of a number of cardiovascular diseases. Although coronary artery disease accounts for a majority of these deaths ...
Adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), also known as sudden cardiac death, has become a serious public health problem due to the increasing incidence and its low survival rates. The greatest occurrence of OHCA is approximately among those average 60-year-old males who carry a high family...
The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical profile of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest using the Utstein style. This study is an observational, prospective, longitudinal study of patients with cardiac arrest treated in intensive care units over a period of 1 year. The study...
Sudden cardiac death is defined as death from unexpected circulatory arrest-usually a result of cardiac arrhythmia-that occurs within 1 hour of the onset of symptoms.
