Article Synopsis
- Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a major health issue, especially among Hispanic or Latino populations in the U.S., which previously lacked targeted research.
- A case-control study analyzed data from 1,468 SCA cases and 590 control participants, identifying chronic kidney disease as the strongest predictor of SCA risk, along with factors like heavy drinking, stroke, and other heart-related conditions.
- Researchers suggest that early detection and treatment of chronic kidney disease, alongside efforts to manage cardiovascular conditions, could significantly reduce SCA risk in Hispanic or Latino communities.
Background: Sudden cardiac arrest is a global public health problem with a mortality rate of more than 90%. Prearrest warning symptoms could be harnessed using digital technology to potentially improve survival outcomes. We aimed to estimate the strength of association between symptoms and imminent sudden cardiac arrest.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of COVID-19 on SCA during 2 years of the pandemic.
Background: Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a major public health problem with mortality >90%, and incidence has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Information regarding ethnicity-specific effects on SCA incidence and survival is lacking.
Methods: In a prospective, population-based study of Ventura County, CA residents (2020 Pop.
Importance: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a major public health problem. Owing to a lack of population-based studies in multiracial/multiethnic communities, little information is available regarding race/ethnicity-specific epidemiologic factors of SCA.
Objective: To evaluate the association of race/ethnicity with burden, outcomes, and clinical profile of individuals experiencing SCA.
Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Response and Outcomes During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) responses and outcomes in 2 U.S. communities with relatively low infection rates.
