SCA is a sudden and unexpected pulseless condition attributed to cessation of cardiac mechanical activity. It is usually caused by ventricular fibrillation, an abnormality in the heartâs electrical system. When SCA occurs, blood stops flowing to the brain, the heart, and the rest of the body, and the person collapses.
I was astounded to find out that--even though SCA carries a large burden of death, claiming at least 250,000 American lives each year (3)--it is largely off the public's radar, despite the fact that it affects people of all ages, and kills more Americans each year than breast cancer, lung cancer, stroke, and AIDS combined.
