Cardiac Arrest Chances
Someone from my hometown suffered cardiac arrest and thankfully survived because of his girlfriend. The scary part is he is an athlete who play’s basketball that’s 23 so you think this wouldn’t happen due how healthy he is. The family never stated the reason for his arrest, or if they found the case, but he now has a defib implanted.
Stories like these, especially when they are so close to home, Scare me. If this healthy guy can have this happen then what are my odds? I’m 21 but don’t regularly exercise like him.
I seem to be “healthy” for the most part as I don’t have diabetes, high bp, high cholesterol, etc. I have a structurally normal heart with PACs and PVCs. The cardiologist I went to said my heart is fine but when I see people that are supposed to be healthier than me suffer this type of stuff I question if that’s really the case
What causes cardiac arrest? What are the chances of me or you to have one?
