Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the abrupt, unexpected loss of heart function, breathing, and consciousness, usually caused by a dangerous electrical disturbance that stops the heart from pumping effectively. It can strike people with or without known heart disease and is a leading cause of death.
SCA is distinct from a heart attack, though a heart attack can trigger it. Because survival drops with every passing minute, the response is immediate: call emergency services, begin CPR with high-quality chest compressions, and use an AED as soon as possible. Prompt bystander action and early defibrillation dramatically improve the odds of survival.
