Who are at Risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

Sudden cardiac arrest can have severe consequences, and results in death most of the times. The survival rate for this condition is very low, with only 1 out of 20 victims surviving. People who appear healthy and have no previous history of heart related conditions can also be subjected to sudden cardiac arrest.

People who have a family history of heart diseases and conditions need to get themselves examined by a doctor in order to know their risks and chances of being affected by this condition. People who have suffered a heart attack previously are also at risk for this condition. In addition to the above, people who experience a lot of stress because of their work style and people who are overweight have greater chances of suffering from this condition.

Thus, every person who is at the risk for this condition needs to get a complete check-up done by a specialist and then seek further options depending on the results.
