Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) refer to the sudden cessation of organized cardiac electrical activity with hemodynamic collapse. The event is referred to as SCA (or aborted SCD) if an intervention (eg, defibrillation, cardioversion, antiarrhythmic drug) or spontaneous reversion restores circulation. The event is called SCD if the patient dies
