0.23 -> Sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack are two different conditions. With a
6.33 -> heart attack there is a problem with the blood supply to the heart and it leads
10.59 -> to areas of the heart not working as well. With a cardiac arrest there is
15.69 -> electrical chaos in the heart and it's usually fatal within 10 minutes. Sudden
21.15 -> cardiac arrest that counts for almost a thousand Americans a day losing their
26.88 -> live. We're very excited about these new research findings that we are presenting
33.51 -> in this paper. At least 50% of people who will suffer a cardiac arrest have
40.68 -> symptoms in the month before their fatal event. This is new because earlier on we
48.03 -> had only focused on the immediate time preceding the cardiac arrest so patients
54.36 -> who are known to have heart disease especially in the holiday season and new
60.18 -> year coming up, when we identify a peak in sudden cardiac arrests if they have
65.549 -> unusual symptoms of chest pain or palpitations or passing out then they
74.549 -> need to contact their health care provider. If it looks like the symptoms
79.409 -> are dire then the sooner you call 911 the better it will be and this is just our first step
86.25 -> into understanding the relationship between symptoms and future cardiac arrest
