All You Need To Know About Sudden Cardiac Arrest That Causes Death by Papzey(f): 1:40pm On Jun 11, 2017 |
Cardiac arrest occurs when the effective blood flow suddenly stops due to the inability of the heart to contract efficiently. Usually, some people may suffer from chest pain, nausea, or shortness of breath before it occurs. If it is not taken care of swiftly and immediately, it usually leads to sudden death. Signs and symptoms of Cardiac Arrest: Cardiac arrest is sometimes preceded by certain symptoms such as fainting, fatigue, blackouts, dizziness, shortness of breath, weakness, vomiting, and chest pain. The arrest may also occur with no warning. The symptoms also include the absence of breathing or loss of consciousness. What are the major causes of Cardiac Arrest? Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of cardiac arrest. Other less common causes are major blood loss, lack of oxygen, very low potassium, heart failure, and intense physical exercise. A number of inherited disorders may also increase the risk including long QT syndrome. The initial heart rhythm is most often ventricular fibrillation. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding no pulse. While a cardiac arrest may be caused by heart attack or heart failure, these are not the same. What are the other causes of Cardiac Arrest? As mentioned earlier, coronary artery disease is the leading major cause of sudden cardiac arrest. There are hosts of other cardiac and non-cardiac conditions that also increase the risk. Coronary artery disease often results in coronary ischemia and ventricular fibrillation (v-fib). Cases have shown that the most common finding at postmortem examination of SCD is chronic high-grade stenosis of at least one segment of a major coronary artery, the arteries that supply the heart muscle with its blood supply. Left ventricular hypertrophy is believed to be the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the adult population. This is usually the result of severe high blood pressure which has caused secondary damage to the wall of the main pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle. How to Prevent Cardiac Arrest? The best prevention of cardiac arrest is to quit smoking, avoid heavy physical activity, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight. The treatment for cardiac arrest is immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and if a shockable rhythm is present, defibrillation is used. An implantable cardiac defibrillator may be placed to reduce the chance of death from recurrence. If you observe any of the above-mentioned symptoms in anyone close to you, please rush to the hospital or call emergency services immediately. Sudden cardiac arrest is killing quite a lot of young people these days. Source: http://www.rapportnaija.com/2017/06/sudden-cardiac-arrest.html 20 Likes 6 Shares
