Can anyone please let me know how we prevent our selfs from Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

  1. Another good question. I think the best path is to take efforts to keep your body as a whole healthy. And this begins by seeing your doctor regularly and following any instructions your doctor might have. I think another key is to eat a healthy diet and maintain a healthy weight. And I think the experts also recommend that you stay active and get an appropriate amount of exercise. And all of these together can help you keep your heart healthy so you can reduce your risk for heart related issues down the road. What do you think? Are these all things that you are doing?
