A cardiac arrest is the most deadly form of heart condition
A new study has found half of all people who have a cardiac arrest will feel symptoms in the 24 hours before - and the tell-tale signs are different for men than for women.
Up to 24 hours before, women may feel breathless, while men will feel chest pains, according to a new study from the Smidt Heart Institute at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the US. Smaller subgroups of both genders experienced palpitations, seizure-like activity and flu-like symptoms.
Another author Dr Eduardo Marbán, said: “This is the first community-based study to evaluate the association of warning symptoms, or sets of symptoms, with imminent sudden cardiac arrest using a comparison group with EMS-documented symptoms recorded as part of routine emergency care."
