    Pathophysiology Cardiac Arrest: Predisposingfactors Precipitating Factors

    Uploaded by

    Annisa Mutmainnah Arifuddin
    This document summarizes the pathophysiology of cardiac arrest. It identifies predisposing factors like age, gender, and history of cardiovascular diseases. Precipitating factors include smoking, electrolyte imbalances, diabetes, obesity, and drug use. The etiology involves damage to the heart's electrical conduction system, which can lead to arrhythmias and impaired blood circulation. Ultimately, this results in lack of oxygen to the brain and death if not treated.
