Background:Most out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who are initially treated with an automated external defibrillator (AED) and present in a non-shockable rhythm never receive a shock. Each patient’s heart rhythms were reviewed by an expert. Application of any medication during AED use was unlikely.

Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy is a condition that affects the heart muscle, causing it to become enlarged, thick, or rigid. This condition often leads to heart failure, as the heart cannot effectively pump blood. Beta-blockers , which slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.

Arrhythmias: Genetic mutations can also predispose individuals to irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or long QT syndrome, which may increase the risk of stroke or sudden cardiac arrest. Mutations in specific genes often cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Ventricles are the lower muscular pumping chambers of the heart. When the LAD is blocked at its origin, the resulting damage to the heart muscle is large so that the pumping function may fail. It can also alter the heart rhythm abruptly causing cardiac arrest or stoppage of heart function.

Barr’s death at 39 from sudden cardiac arrest was caused by mitral valve prolapse—a heart valve defect that can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood. The PRIMARY trial is directed by Joanna Chikwe, MD, chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai. It can, in some cases, lead to death.
