As per Aditi Jagtap Pune, director of RMHF, Pune, Several factors can contribute to the development of CAD, including a diet high in saturated and trans fats, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle. If you have a family history of CAD or have one or more of these risk factors, you may be at an increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

Factor 3: Heart Attack
Congenital heart weaknesses are structural anomalies in the heart that are existing at birth. These defects can affect the heart’s structure, function, or both, and can increase the risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest. Congenital heart defects are the leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest in infants, children, and young adults.
A heart attack transpires when blood flow to the heart is obstructed, generally by a blood clot. This blockage can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle, increasing the risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest. While not all heart attacks lead to sudden cardiac arrest, the risk is elevated in those who have had a heart attack in the past.
