A member asked:
Wanted to know if cardiac arrest survivors live a long life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can live long: If they are treated correctly and the source of their cardiac arrest is determined and treated, they may have the same life expectancy as anyone without a cardiac arrest. That said, data indicate that having one statistically does reduce survival, but it depends upon the cause and subsequent treatment.
