1. What is Sudden Cardiac Abrupt loss of cardiac function with collapse and unresponsiveness.
Arrest (SCA)?
2. What is Sudden Cardiac Death resulting from sudden cardiac arrest.
Death (SCD)?
3. What is a major cause of Coronary artery disease (CAD).
Sudden Cardiac Death?
4. What are common warn- Exertional chest pain, syncope, unexplained dyspnea, palpitations,
ing signs before collapse? family history of sudden death.
5. What is Hypertrophic Car- unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy
diomyopathy (HCM)?
6. What are the red flags for Exertional syncope, chest pain with exertion, palpitations, family his-
HCM? tory of sudden death.
7. What is Commotio Sudden cardiac arrest after a blunt, nonpenetrating chest impact dur-
Cordis? ing a vulnerable moment in the cardiac cycle.
8. What is the Chain of Sur- 1. Recognition and EMS activation, 2. High-quality CPR, 3. Rapid de-
vival? fibrillation, 4. Advanced resuscitation, 5. Post-cardiac arrest care.
9. What are the Hs and Ts in Hs: Hypoxia, Hypovolemia, Hydrogen ion (acidosis), Hypo-/hyper-
cardiac arrest? kalemia, Hypothermia; Ts: Toxins, Tamponade, Tension pneumothorax,
Thrombosis (pulmonary and coronary).
10. What is the col- Ideally within 3 minutes.
lapse-to-shock goal?
11. What are the signs of Delayed repolarization, risk for dangerous ventricular arrhythmias,
Long QT Syndrome? syncope, palpitations.
