Cardiac arrest: It's the abrupt loss of heart function during a one that May or might not are diagnosed with heart condition. It can come on suddenly or within the wake of other symptoms. Asystole is usually fatal if appropriate steps aren’t taken immediately. Asystole could also be caused by almost any known heart disease. Most cardiac arrests occur when a diseased heart’s electrical system malfunctions. This malfunction causes an abnormal cardiac rhythm like ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Some cardiac arrests also are caused by extreme slowing of the heart’s rhythm (bradycardia).

It is caused when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions. The guts stop beating properly. The heart’s pumping function is “arrested,” or stopped. In asystole, death may result quickly if proper steps aren’t taken immediately. Asystole could also be reversed if CPR is performed and a defibrillator shocks the guts and restores a traditional cardiac rhythm within a couple of minutes. Asystole could also be caused by irregular heart rhythms called arrhythmias. a standard arrhythmia related to asystole is fibrillation . In fibrillation, the heart’s lower chambers suddenly start beating chaotically and don’t pump blood. Sudden asystole is that the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. The condition usually results from a drag together with your heart's electrical system, which disrupts your heart's pumping action and stops blood flow to your body. Sudden asystole is not the same as an attack, when blood flow to a neighbourhood of the guts is blocked. However, an attack can sometimes trigger an electrical phenomenon that results in sudden asystole. If not treated immediately, sudden asystole can cause death. Survival is feasible with fast, appropriate medical aid.

Symptoms of Cardiac Arrest

Signs of sudden asystole are immediate and drastic and include: Sudden collapse, No pulse, No breathing, Loss of consciousness. Sometimes other signs and symptoms occur before sudden asystole. These might include: Chest discomfort, Shortness of breath, Weakness, Fast-beating, fluttering or pounding heart. But sudden asystole often occurs with no warning.

Other causes of Cardiac Arrest include:

Scarring of the guts tissue: It's the results of a previous attack or another cause. A heart that’s scarred or enlarged from any cause is susceptible to develop life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

Thickened cardiac muscle (cardiomyopathy): Damage to the guts muscle is often the results of high vital sign, heart valve disease or other causes.

Heart medications: Under certain conditions, some heart medications can set the stage for arrhythmias that cause sudden asystole. Significant changes in blood levels of potassium and magnesium can also cause life-threatening arrhythmias and asystole.

Electrical abnormalities: These, including Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and Long QT syndrome, may cause sudden asystole in children and children.

Blood vessel abnormalities: These rare cases occur particularly within the coronary arteries and aorta. Adrenaline released during intense physical activity can trigger sudden asystole when these abnormalities are present.
