A member asked:
Why some die immediately when they have an heart attack while some survive, have a bypass and live on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sudden death: 10-25% of heart attack deaths are from arrhythmias that occur within the first few hours after occlusion of a coronary artery which is the cause of a heart attack. This is a huge reason to get a person to a hospital early in the course of a suspected heart attack.
