Can Someone with a Heart Condition Experience Cardiac Arrest During Surgery?

Let's explore this topic together!

1. People with heart conditions may experience sudden cardiac arrest, but not all patients will. Patients need to adjust their mindset and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.

2. If patients have certain heart diseases, factors such as anesthesia during surgery may cause sudden cardiac arrest. However, this does not occur in all patients, and doctors will assess the surgical risks before surgery. If patients do not meet the surgical indications, doctors may recommend conservative treatment. If patients require timely surgical treatment after falling ill, they should maintain a good mindset and undergo treatment as advised by their doctors.

3. Sudden cardiac arrest refers to the sudden cessation of the heart's pumping function, resulting in the disappearance of large artery pulsations and heart sounds. Vital organs experience severe ischemia and hypoxia, leading to the termination of life. If patients experience sudden cardiac arrest during surgery, doctors will immediately perform resuscitation measures such as defibrillation with electrical shocks. If successful resuscitation is achieved within the critical time window, it generally will not affect the patient's life and health, nor will it leave any sequelae.
