Sudden cardiac death strikes without warning, often in people with no prior symptoms. In most cases, it occurs outside a hospital and leads to death within minutes if no rapid intervention is provided.
Psychological reactions after a heart attack are common but often misunderstood. Understanding these emotions can help regain emotional balance and support recovery.
This site is intended to provide information and make cardiology comprehensible for all patients; it is not a substitute for a doctor. It does, however, enable a better understanding of how the heart works, the many heart diseases that exist, the tests required to reach a diagnosis, and the drugs and other methods used to treat them.
Where the masculine is used herein, it shall be all-gender inclusive.
