What Factors Can Lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
The factors that cause sudden cardiac arrest are usually heart disease, metabolic diseases, etc. 1. Heart disease: Heart disease is a more serious and harmful condition. Common heart diseases include coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valve insufficiency, etc. When heart disease is severe, it can easily cause myocardial ischemia, leading to insufficient blood supply to various organs in the body, resulting in cerebral hypoxia and causing sudden cardiac arrest. 2. Metabolic diseases: Metabolic diseases usually include hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia, etc., which usually cause electrolyte disturbances in the body. When metabolic diseases are severe, toxic substances in the body cannot be excreted in a timely manner, which over time can irritate heart function, leading to sudden cardiac arrest.
Regardless of the factor causing sudden cardiac arrest, immediate rescue is required. Generally, rescue methods such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration are needed. At the same time, dial 120 for transportation to the hospital for treatment. After the patient awakens, they should control their mindset.
