Sudden cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. The condition usually results from a problem with your heart's electrical system, which disrupts your heart's pumping action and stops blood flow to your body.
St. Luke’s Heart & Vascular Center offers the highest level of care for patients with cardiovascular disease – the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States and within Pennsylvania, affecting more than 25% of residents each year.
