[QUOTE="Patricks, post: 303185"] Cardiac arrest is a sudden and potentially life-threatening event that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including: [B] 1. Coronary artery disease:[/B] Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, which can lead to a heart attack or other cardiac events. [B]2. Arrhythmias:[/B] Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that can cause the heart to beat too quickly, too slowly, or irregularly. In some cases, arrhythmias can cause the heart to stop beating altogether. [B]3. Cardiomyopathy: [/B] Cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the heart muscle and can cause the heart to become enlarged or weakened, which can increase the risk of cardiac arrest. [B]4. Electrolyte imbalances:[/B] Electrolytes are minerals in the body that help regulate the heart's electrical activity. An imbalance of electrolytes, such as potassium or magnesium, can disrupt the heart's rhythm and lead to cardiac arrest. [B]5. Drug overdose: [/B] Certain drugs, such as opioids, can slow down the respiratory and cardiac systems and lead to cardiac arrest. [B]6. Trauma[/B]: Trauma, such as a blow to the chest, can disrupt the heart's rhythm and lead to cardiac arrest. [B]6. Genetic disorders[/B]: Some genetic disorders, such as long QT syndrome, can cause abnormal heart rhythms that increase the risk of cardiac arrest. [B] 7. Hypothermia:[/B] Hypothermia, which occurs when the body temperature drops too low, can slow down the heart and lead to cardiac arrest. It's important to note that sometimes cardiac arrest can occur for no apparent reason. In these cases, the cause may be unknown. [/QUOTE]
