Sudden cardiac arrest may not always be so sudden, heart experts say.
A recent study has found that cardiac arrest symptoms in men can appear at least a month ahead of time. Signs can include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting or palpitations.
Sudden cardiac arrest differs from a heart attack. Cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, causing the heart to stop beating. A heart attack happens when the blood supply to the heart is blocked.
Joining the show to discuss early heart attack symptoms, sudden cardiac arrest, and what you can do to prevent this from happening, is John J. Finley IV, MD, FACC, FSCAI. He is an interventional cardiologist with Lourdes Cardiology.
