Half of those who suffer cardiac arrest experience a telling symptom 24 hours before the incident, according to a recent study. The warning symptom was different in men and women.
The PRESTO study showed that 50% of the 823 individuals — all of whom had a sudden cardiac arrest witnessed by a bystander or emergency medicine professional — experienced at least one telltale symptom before their fatal incident. Chest pain was the prominent complaint in men before impending cardiac arrest.
"Next, we will supplement these key sex-specific warning symptoms with additional features — such as clinical profiles and biometric measures — for improved prediction of sudden cardiac arrest," Chugh said.One cardiologist who was not involved with the study agreed that this new research highlights findings that can contribute to early detection and prevention of sudden cardiac arrest.
"If these findings can be translated into clinical practice, they could lead to improved patient outcomes by allowing timely interventions and medical attention."
