Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to pump effectively.[11] It is a rapidly fatal medical emergency requiring immediate intervention with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until further treatment can be provided. Cardiac arrest results in rapid loss of consciousness and can result in abnormal or absent breathing.[1][2] Some individuals may experience chest pain, shortness of breath or nausea immediately before entering cardiac arrest. Radiating pain to one arm is a common symptom, as is long term malaise and "general weakness of heart".[2] If not treated within minutes, it typically leads to death.[11]

The most common cause of cardiac arrest is coronary artery disease.[4] Less common causes include major blood loss, lack of oxygen, very low potassium, heart failure, and intense physical exercise.[4] A number of inherited disorders, including long QT syndrome, may also increase the risk.[4] The initial heart rhythm most often leading up to the condition is ventricular fibrillation.[4] The diagnosis is confirmed by finding no pulse.[1] While cardiac arrest may be caused by heart attack or heart failure, these are not the same.[11]

Prevention includes not smoking, physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight.[5] Treatment for cardiac arrest includes immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and, if a shockable rhythm is present, defibrillation.[6] Among those who survive, targeted temperature management may improve outcomes.[12][13] An implantable cardiac defibrillator may be placed to reduce the chance of death from recurrence.[5]

In the United States, approximately 535,000 cases occur a year.[9] About 13 per 10,000 people (326,000 or 61%) experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting, while 209,000 (39%) occur within a hospital.[9] Cardiac arrest becomes more common with age.[3] It affects males more often than females.[3]

The percentage of people who survive out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with treatment by emergency medical services is about 8%.[7] However, fictional media in the U.S. has often portrayed the immediate survival rate of cardiac arrest to be unreasonably high. This may contribute to misinformed expectations of the resuscitative efforts from the general public with many studies showing the expected survival rate of resuscitative efforts after cardiac arrest exceeding 40-50%.[7][14] These portrayals may also contribute to a patient's or medical decision maker's desire to pursue aggressive measures. When given accurate information, it has been shown that many are less likely to choose resuscitation when critically ill.[7][15]

In the event that cardiopulmonary resuscitation is successful, this does not guarantee complete recovery as many patients surviving cardiac arrest experience an array of disability including partial paralysis, seizures, difficulty with walking, speaking, or memory, limited consciousness, or persistent vegetative state and brain death.[7][16]

Thank you. I’m thinking it’s either this or anxiety, but I’m leaning toward this.

The connection to the injection is that the spike particle has an affinity to ace 2 receptor sites Angiotensin II (Ang II) is known to attenuate the vagal component of the baroreflex at both central and peripheral cardiac sites. The spike damages the vasovagal response, affecting the gut, liver, heart, lungs and brain, these are the long term affects of vaccination resulting in sudden cardiac death, stroke, CVA and immune collapse to cancer.

Thank you for this vital information. My heathy and very loving nephew died last week on Monday at a tender age of 36. The postmortem showed he died of a cardiac arrest so it got me searching to know more about it. I also learnt that when he collapsed, it took about 45 minutes to get him to hospital - no medical support including CPR was given during this time. So ignorance likely contributed to his death. I now want to create awareness in my wider family.

That is a serious problem for everyone, some of the actors and sport players and rockstars have died from that Cardiac Arrest issue. And I can’t have that happening to my heart, other wise, I will die for real. Cardiac Arrest is just dangerous that I thought. Smoking causes that, a family history causes that which means if somebody in your family had that, then somebody can get that issue to by spreading over to someone. Obesity which is large weight, I had to lose weight to avoid that problem. Diabetes are just going to make it worst. Not exercising is that is an issue. And age, people who are like 80 and older can get that very easily and they can died from that. And I have to sleep sideways to avoid that issue to, like I have for years. And what’s worse, I’m a male because I can get that easily because of my gender. I have to be careful.
