Two thousand young people die in America each year from sudden cardiac arrest
Notimex / State
Chicago, Illinois, United States. - In the U.S., an estimated average of two thousand young people under 25 die each year from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), making it urgent to have a record of these cases in order to understand their causes.
In a statement published this week in its journal Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) shows the severity of ACS, which is the sudden and unexpected loss of heart function and if not treated within minutes can result in death.
The AAP, based in Chicago, provides guidance to pediatricians on underlying cardiac conditions that may predispose young people to the SCA.
Sudden cardiac arrest can occur at very early ages and at rest, although sports participation increases the risk for people with underlying heart disease.
The statement, signed by the Division of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the AAP, said that the prevention of such tragedies is a deep concern of social impact, including children, parents, families, communities and health care providers.
Encourages pediatricians to increase their knowledge about the incidence of SCA, the causes, presentation of specific diseases, the role of patient and family, genetic testing, as well as important aspects of secondary prevention.
Many cardiac disorders are known to be genetic, he says, so an evaluation of family members, although asymptomatic, is a fundamental step in the overall diagnosis of disorders that predispose youth to ACS.
The medical organization says that before sudden cardiac arrest common symptoms in patients with structural or functional disorders may include dizziness, chest pain, difficulty breathing, vomiting, fainting and / or seizures.
