Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. It strikes people of all ages who may seem to be Healthy. When SCA happens, the person colapses and doesn’t respond or breathe normally. They may gasp or shake as if having a seizure. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is not a heart attack. A heart attack is caused by impeded blood flow through the heart. SCA is caused by a structural or electrical problem, often from an undetected heart condition, and in other instances, from an infection or a severe blow to the chest. #myIME #SCA #suddencardiacarrest #awarenessmonth
