A member asked:
Which of the following is a sign that a man is about to suffer cardiopulmonary arrest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None of the above: This reads like an exam question. There is no predicting sudden death ("cardiopulmonary arrest" if you prefer), even if a person is having severe crushing chest pain, has an obvious pulmonary thrombuembolus ("that knot in my leg just vanished -- gasp"), has ventricular tachycardia on an ekg -- there's simply no predicting. Cherish life while it lasts.
