Cardiac arrest is a severe heart condition. During cardiac arrest, your heart suddenly stops pumping blood around your body. When the heart stops pumping blood, the brain is starved of oxygen. This result in unconsciousness and the person stops breathing.
Our heartbeat is controlled by electrical impulses. Arrhythmia is the change of these electrical impulses, which occurs when the heartbeat becomes irregular. Few arrhythmias are slow, and others are rapid. When the rhythm of the heart stops, it results in cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is a critical health issue. Schedule an appointment with your doctor if you're experiencing symptoms of cardiac arrest. It is life-threatening. Timely and immediate response can save your life.
Many factors can cause sudden cardiac arrest. Two of the most common cardiac arrest are ventricular and atrial fibrillation.
Ventricular Fibrillation: This is the most common cause of cardiac arrest. The heart has four chambers. There are two lower chambers called the ventricles. When ventricular fibrillation occurs, these chambers quiver out of control, causing the heart's rhythm to change dramatically. This results in inefficient pumping by the ventricles. Hence, it severely decreases the amount of blood pumped through the body. In most cases, it could lead to sudden death because the blood circulation completely stops.
Atrial Fibrillation: There are two upper chambers called the atria. When atrial fibrillation occurs, the sinoatrial (SA) node doesn't send out the correct electrical impulses. The SA node, located in the right atrium functions as to how quickly the heart pumps blood. The ventricles can't pump blood out to the body efficiently when the electrical impulse goes into atrial fibrillation.
Cardiac arrest can be caused by certain heart conditions and health factors that increase your risk of cardiac arrest.
Other risk factors for cardiac arrest include:
Following are the symptoms of cardiac arrest, and you should visit the doctor if you:
Prompt medical emergency care is needed if you or someone you are with experiences these symptoms:
However, cardiac arrest may not have symptoms before it occurs. If you do have persistent symptoms that persist, seek immediate medical care.
ECG: During cardiac arrest, seek medical treatment immediately to focus on getting the blood flowing back to your body. The doctor will perform a test called an electrocardiogram to identify the type of abnormal rhythm your heart is experiencing. The ECG will reveal disturbances in heart rhythm or detect unusual electrical patterns, such as a prolonged QT interval, that increase your risk of sudden death.
Blood tests: The doctor may order blood tests to look for signs of a heart attack. They can also measure potassium, magnesium, hormones, and other chemicals that can affect your heart's ability to function.
Chest X-ray and Echocardiogram is another imaging test that can also be used to look for other signs of disease in the heart.
