Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. It is the third leading cause of death in the United States and can strike people of all ages who may seem to be healthy, even children and teens. SCA can lead to death in minutes if the person does not get help right away.
