Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is not a heart attack. A heart attack is caused by impeded blood flow through the heart. SCA is caused by a structural or electrical problem, often from an undetected heart condition, and in other instances, from an infection or a severe blow to the chest.
SCA can strike anyone, at any age, without warning. But it doesn't mean we are entirely powerless. Because SCA is an electrical malfunction of the heart, prevention focuses on identifying hidden risks and maintaining cardiac health before a crisis happens.
Take a proactive step for your heart with these ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐:
