🧑⚕️💔 Young, Fit… Gone?
Every year, thousands of seemingly healthy young adults suffer sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) outside the hospital.
📉 Only 9–16% survive to discharge — yet 90% of survivors leave with good brain function.
🔍 Many have hidden risk factors — hypertension, diabetes, even genetic arrhythmia syndromes like Brugada or Long QT.
⚡ Rapid CPR, AED use, and targeted evaluation (ECG, imaging, genetics) save lives and prevent recurrence.
🧬 Survivors—and their families—may carry silent genetic signals.
🔁 The takeaway? SCA isn't random. It's a warning shot. One we can catch—if we're ready.
