Heart Attack – Timely Assistance

A Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs when there is a sudden loss of heart function, leading to loss of consciousness and even death. It is caused by a problem in the electrical system of the heart, which stops the pumping of blood to the body and the brain.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest often strikes without warning and can happen to anyone. If you have any of the risk factors listed below, it’s crucial to get a cardiac check-up done periodically. Heart doctors, including those in our Salem, Trichy, Hosur, Tirunelveli and Chennai branches, emphasize the importance of regular monitoring to help prevent such incidents.
