Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is an event caused by a problem with the heart's "electrical" system. SCA occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. The heart’s electrical system sends signals to the heart to beat much too fast. The heart cannot beat that fast, so the heart muscle just quivers. Blood and oxygen do not reach vital organs like the brain. Then it stops altogether. The heart needs immediate treatment from an electrical shock (defibrillation) to restart the electrical system. If SCA is not treated within 7-10 minutes, it leads to sudden cardiac death.

Cardiac arrest
Cardiac arrest is the abrupt cessation of cardiac pump function that requires prompt intervention to prevent death. The four rhythms that can cause pulseless cardiac arrest are ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia, asystole, and pulseless electrical activity. Immediate CPR and defibrillation are critical, along with identifying and treating reversible causes such as hypoxia, acidosis, hypothermia, tamponade, pulmonary embolism, or drug overdose. Management involves high-quality CPR, defibrillation for shockable rhythms, intravenous epinephrine and amiodarone, and treating underlying causes.

In cardiac arrest, the heart abruptly stops beating. Without prompt intervention, it can result in the person's death.
A brief about Cardiac arrest...!!
Cardiac arrest is the failure of the heart to effectively pump blood throughout the body due to problems with the electrical signals that control heart rhythm or other causes. It can be classified as either shockable or non-shockable based on the heart rhythm. Causes include coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, and non-cardiac factors like bleeding or overdose. Treatment involves cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation for shockable rhythms, medications, therapeutic hypothermia, and other advanced techniques to restore circulation.

1) Cardiac arrest is the abrupt cessation of cardiac function leading to loss of circulation unless reversed by emergency intervention. It can be caused by conditions like ventricular fibrillation, asystole or mechanical issues.
2) Most cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals and fewer than 10% of patients survive after attempted resuscitation. Survival rates are lower for black Americans and higher for Asian populations.
3) The chain of survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest includes early CPR, defibrillation if needed, advanced medical services and post-cardiac arrest care. Effective CPR provides some blood flow until further treatment.
Cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death
This document discusses sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). SCA refers to sudden cessation of cardiac activity that may be reversible by interventions like defibrillation, while SCD is uncorrected SCA that leads to death. SCD is defined as natural death from cardiac causes within one hour of symptoms in someone who may have unrecognized heart disease. About 500,000 cases occur annually in the US, accounting for 10-15% of natural deaths. Risk factors include prior arrhythmias, low ejection fraction, heart disease, and family history. Treatment involves cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation if needed, and treating underlying causes. Advanced cardiac life support may include int

CARDIAC ARREST VS.HEART ATTACK
Cardiac arrest and heart attack are often confused but have important differences. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart malfunctions and stops beating unexpectedly due to an electrical problem, whereas a heart attack is caused by a blockage in blood flow to the heart. In cardiac arrest the heart cannot pump blood, a person becomes unresponsive within seconds, and death occurs within minutes without treatment. In a heart attack blood flow is blocked to part of the heart, which begins to die if not reopened quickly, and symptoms may develop slowly over hours or days. The key to survival for both is calling emergency services immediately so treatment can begin as soon as possible.
Heart Arrhythmia
Heart arrhythmias result from disturbances in the rate, regularity, or origin of the heart's electrical signals. They are divided into two groups - one including life-threatening ventricular fibrillation and tachycardia requiring immediate defibrillation, and another including less dangerous arrhythmias that may still require treatment. Ventricular arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation involve abnormal electrical signals originating in the ventricles. These can cause symptoms like fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath and carry risks like inadequate blood flow leading to cardiac arrest if not terminated quickly.
Cardiac arrest resuscitation simi joju k.
Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem, causing over 250,000 deaths in the US each year. Only 5-10% of victims survive. The chain of survival includes early access to emergency medical services, early CPR, early defibrillation, and early advanced life support. CPR provides crucial blood flow to vital organs until defibrillation can be administered to restart the heart if it is experiencing ventricular fibrillation. Public access defibrillation programs have helped increase survival rates by making AEDs available in public places so that shocks can be delivered within 3-5 minutes of collapse.

Arrhythmia
A heart arrhythmia (uh-RITH-me-uh) is an irregular heartbeat. Heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical signals that coordinate the heart's beats don't work properly. The faulty signaling causes the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia) or irregularly.
Cardiac arrest
This document discusses cardiac arrest, including its definition, diagnosis, and causes. Cardiac arrest is defined as the sudden cessation of heartbeat and cardiac function, resulting in the loss of effective circulation. It can be diagnosed by loss of consciousness, loss of normal breathing, and loss of pulse. Causes include primary lesions of the cardiac muscle or disorders of conductivity (cardiac) as well as airway obstruction, respiratory failure, shock, or drug overdose (extracardiac). The sequence of operations for diagnosis involves checking responsiveness, calling for help, ensuring an open airway, checking breathing and pulse, and starting CPR with chest compressions and artificial ventilation. Four cardiac rhythms can occur during cardiac arrest.
Arrhythmia basics
Arrhythmias are abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or electrical system. There are two main features of arrhythmias - the site of origin within the heart and the effect on heart rate. Common types include atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation causes the atria to quiver chaotically instead of rhythmically and can lead to blood clots. Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation involve abnormal electrical signals from the ventricles and are more serious, as they can be fatal if not treated immediately.
Cardiac rhythm disturbance
This document discusses normal sinus rhythm and various cardiac rhythm disturbances, including atrial fibrillation, multifocal atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. It provides details on the characteristics, causes, clinical presentation, evaluation, and treatment of each arrhythmia.

The key steps are to check for responsiveness, call for help, open the airway, give rescue breaths if needed, check the pulse and perform chest compressions if pulseless. CPR is used to keep the patient alive until cardioversion. Ventricular fibrillation is treated with immediate defibrillation followed by CPR and epinephrine. Atrial fibrillation is typically managed by controlling the heart rate and long-term anticoagulation to prevent stroke.
Atrial dysrhythmias
This document discusses various dysrhythmias originating in the atria, including wandering atrial pacemaker, multifocal atrial tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, premature atrial contractions, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation. For each dysrhythmia, the document discusses etiology, clinical significance, and treatment approaches. The document also provides information on medications commonly used to treat dysrhythmias originating in the atria, including adenosine, diltiazem, and beta-blockers.
Heart attack v/s cardiac arrest ❤ -medical information
People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not synonyms. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A heart attack is a “circulation” problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem.

On the flip side, a heart attack happens when the heart doesn’t get enough blood, often because something is blocking it. Both are serious, but we have to deal with them in different ways. Let’s take a closer look to understand what exactly happens inside our bodies when these challenging moments hit as per Dr. Ranjit Jagtap.
Myocardial Infarction.ppt
This document discusses myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a heart attack. An MI occurs when a coronary artery becomes blocked, depriving the heart muscle of oxygen-rich blood. This can cause damage or death of heart muscle. Major risk factors for an MI include atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes. An MI is diagnosed through electrocardiograms (EKGs), which can show changes in the heart's electrical activity, and blood tests. Treatment focuses on opening blocked arteries through medications or procedures, preventing abnormal heart rhythms, and giving oxygen. Making lifestyle changes can help prevent MIs by lowering risk factors like quitting smoking, eating healthy, and managing stress.

List of heart diseases pdf.pdf
The human heart is a muscular organ with four chambers The size of the heart is the size of about a clenched fist. The function of the heart is to maintain a constant flow of blood throughout the body. This replenishes oxygen and circulates nutrients among the cells and tissues.
Several conditions impair the heart’s function. In Medical Terminology we use the term "heart disease". A list of Some Heart diseases is as follows:-
1(a). Disorders of heart rate, rhythm, and conduction
1.1 Sinus Arrhythmia -
Phasic alteration of heart rate during respiration may be due to activity in the parasympathetic system. can be two types:-
sinus bradycardia - Sinus rate is less than 60/min, Like normally present in Athletes.
Pathological Causes -Myocardial Infarction, Sinus Node Disease, Hypothermia, Hypothyroidism, Cholestatic jaundice, Raised Intracranial pressure, drugs like beta-blockers or verapamil.
Sinus Tachycardia - Heart rate of more than 100/min, it may be associated with exercise, pregnancy, and emotion.
After that Pathological Causes of Anxiety, Fever, Anemia, Heart Failure, Thyrotoxicosis, Phaeochromocytoma, and Drugs like bronchodilators.
1.2 Atrial tachyarrhythmias
Heart Disease having Atrial tachyarrhythmias are irregular fast heartbeat in the upper chambers of the heart(atria)
1.3 Atrial ectopic beats
Ectopic heartbeats are extra heartbeats that occur just before a regular beat. Ectopic beats are normal but can give the sensation of a missed beat.
1.4 Atrial tachycardia
It is a type of Heart Disease in which arrhythmia(an irregular heart rhythm) causes the upper chambers(atria) of the heart to beat faster than normal. This condition has several possible causes but is usually not dangerous. It is often curable or manageable with medication.
1.5 Atrial flutter
It Is one of the abnormal heart rhythms characterized by the right atrium beating quickly and encircling the tricuspid annulus.
1.6 Atrial fibrillation
In AF the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat irregularly instead of beating effectively to move blood into the ventricles. It is characterized by the presence of multiple, interacting re-entry circuits looping around the area. if untreated atrial fibrillation doubles the risk of heart-related deaths and associated serious conditions like stroke.
common causes may be coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, hypertension, sinoatrial disease, hyperthyroidism, alcohol, cardiomyopathy, chest infection, congenital heart disease, pericardial disease, and pulmonary embolism.
Preventing stroke by MArilynCatunao
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen. There are two main types of stroke - one caused by a blockage cutting off blood flow, and one caused by bleeding within the brain. Symptoms depend on the affected brain region and may include loss of movement, speech, or vision. Risk factors include age, sex, race, diabetes, high blood pressure, prior strokes or mini-strokes, heart conditions, and lifestyle factors like smoking, diet, weight, and alcohol use. Making healthy choices can help reduce risks within one's control.

There are two main types of stroke - one caused by a blockage cutting off blood flow, and one caused by bleeding in the brain. Symptoms depend on the affected brain region and may include weakness, vision issues, speech problems or headaches. Risk factors include age, sex, race, diabetes, prior stroke, high blood pressure, heart conditions, smoking and obesity. Controlling risk factors through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, not smoking and managing medical conditions can help prevent stroke.
Know The Difference Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest- Aditi Jagtap Pune.pdf
On the flip side, a heart attack happens when the heart doesn’t get enough blood, often because something is blocking it. Both are serious, but we have to deal with them in different ways. Let’s take a closer look to understand what exactly happens inside our bodies when these challenging moments hit as per Dr. Ranjit Jagtap Daughter.
CHAPTER12CardiovascularDisease,Diabetes,andCancerC
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves the heart and blood vessels. The most common type is coronary artery disease, which causes heart attacks and angina. CVD can be caused by atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up in arteries due to conditions like high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and obesity. While some risk factors cannot be controlled, it is estimated that 90% of CVD is preventable through lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, healthy diet and exercise. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced, and is a medical emergency. The two main types are ischemic, caused by clots, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding. Transient ischemic attacks are mini-strokes that resolve

The document discusses atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and coronary artery disease. It provides illustrations and descriptions of the heart anatomy, including the coronary arteries and heart muscle. Risk factors for coronary artery disease and heart attack are outlined, along with descriptions of atherosclerosis, angina, heart attack, and diagnostic tests like cardiac catheterization. Invasive treatments for coronary artery disease like percutaneous coronary intervention are also mentioned.
Difference between Sudden Cardiac Arrest and a Heart Attack
It’s a common misconception that sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and heart attack are the same thing. In reality they are quite different and understanding the difference could save your life or the life of someone you love. A heart attack could be described as a ‘plumbing problem’, while sudden cardiac arrest is more of an ‘electrical problem. To learn more visit our website!

The document discusses different types of arrhythmia, which refers to irregular heartbeat. It describes normotopic arrhythmia where the sinus node is the pacemaker, including sinus arrhythmia, sinus tachycardia, and sinus bradycardia. Ectopic arrhythmia occurs when other parts of the heart act as the pacemaker, such as atrial or ventricular muscle. The document also covers heart block, paroxysmal tachycardia, atrial flutter, and artificial pacemakers used to treat arrhythmias.

This article explains in detail what actually heart attack mean and why heart attack occurs. In plain words, a heart attack is the slow death of parts of the heart due to lack of blood flow and oxygen. Read whole article to understand in detail.
How Heart Disease Can Lead to a Stroke: Understanding the Connection — Dr Ran...
Stroke and heart disease share common risk factors and underlying mechanisms. Hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol levels, diabetes, obesity, and smoking are examples of risk factors that contribute to both heart disease and stroke. Additionally, certain heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, can directly increase the risk of stroke. Exploring this intricate relationship helps us recognize the importance of managing heart disease to prevent stroke. As per heart disease expert Dr. Ranjit Jagtap, heart disease can also directly cause or contribute to stroke in several ways, such as:

HEART ATTACK Vs SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST
- 2. SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST HEART ATTACK Vs SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST 1)Sudden Cardiac Arrest - (SCA) – is a condition that occurs when the heart stop pumping blood, do to an electrical problem in the heart. 2)Heart Attack - is cause by a circulation or plumbing problem in the heart, the arteries that deliver blood to the heart is blocked. Oxygen in the blood, cannot heart muscle, and caureach theses damage to the heart muscle. Heart Attack leads to Sudden Cardiac Arrest. www.texiladigipedia.com
- 3. What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest? Sudden Cardiac Arrest, is the sudden, unexpected loss of heart function, breathing and unconsciousness. The Victim may or may not have diagnosed heart disease. It occurs within minutes after symptoms appear. Over 350,000 people a year die of from Sudden Cardiac Arrest, which leads the United States for deaths each year. It’s a medical emergency that, if not treated immediately, is fatal. With fast, appropriate medical care, survival is possible. Signs and Symptoms of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Sudden Collapse Shortness of Breath Rapid Heart Rate Fainting Episodes Loss of Consciousness
- 4. Causes of Sudden Cardiac Arrest: Coronary Artery – Over 80 percent of sudden cardiac arrest cases occurs in people with coronary disease. Cardiomyopathy – This occurs when your heart ventricular wall enlarges. (Dilated, Hypertrophic, Restrictive) Valvular Heart Disease – Leaking or narrowing of your valve, leads to stretching or thickening of your heart muscle. Long QT Syndrome
