Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the sudden loss of all heart activity due to an irregular heart rhythm.
When that happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.
If it is not treated, SCA usually causes death within minutes

Causes
The heart has an electrical system that controls the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat

Sudden Cardiac Arrest(SCA) can happen when the heart’s electrical system is not working right and cause irregular heartbeats
Irregular heartbeats are called arrhythmias.
They may cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm.

Certain diseases and conditions can cause the electrical problems that lead to SCA. they include
Ventricular fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia where the ventricles beat very fast and very irregularly.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is often caused by the buildup of plaque, a waxy substance, inside the lining of larger coronary arteries. The plaque blocks the blood flow to the heart
Cardiomyopathy
Congenital heart defect
Heart valve disease
Intense physical activity
High levels of potassium and magnesium
Major blood loss
Severe lack of oxygen

Symptoms
