Causes Of Cardiac

The heart has four chambers. The lower two chambers are called ventricles and the upper two chambers are called atria. In some cases, the heart rhythm is abnormal and the ventricular circulation is disrupted. Even if once in a while the blood circulation stops completely. This can lead to sudden cardiac death. Cardiac arrest is usually caused by ventricular fibrillation. The upper chambers (atrium) of the atrial appendage also causes the heart to stop beating once in a while.

Palpitations in the atria begin when the sinoatrial node does not send the proper electrical impulses. As a result, the ventricles do not pump blood efficiently to the body. Causing the heart to cease.

Who Is At Risk For Cardiac Arrest?

• This problem is more common in people with coronary heart disease.
• Even those with a larger heart size have a higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest i.e., people who build large muscles around their heart are at risk.
• Sudden cardiac arrest can also occur in children with congenital heart disease.
• Sudden death can occur if problems arise with the heart’s pumping system.

It Can Also Occur Due To The Following Reasons

• Smoking
• A laid-back lifestyle
• High blood pressure
• Family history of heart disease
• People over 45 and women over 55 have low potassium/magnesium levels

Cardiac Arrest Symptoms

• Dizziness
• Worn-out
• Sweating
• Heart palpitations
• Chest pain
• Difficulty in breathing
• Loss of consciousness

Medical experts suggest that treatment should be given as soon as these symptoms appear if there is a delay in getting the treatment it can cost the life.

 Doctors perform a test called an electrocardiogram to stimulate blood flow to the body by providing prompt treatment. Which will help in the circulation of blood and will stimulate the right pattern of the heartbeat.

The doctors will also explain to you what to eat and what not to eat besides they will also tell you some lifestyle rules and explain to you how stress can affect your health and what exercises need to be adopted in the day-to-day life that will help you live a happy long healthy life.
