Can sudden cardiac arrest happens at resting heart rate?

Yes. It is known to happen in persons with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Yes. Sudden cardiac death is when heart has abnormal electrical activity leading to fibrillation of bottom chambers and sudden death. It most commonly happens during heart attacks where there is a blockage in the blood flow to the heart. It can also happen in many other rare genetic and structural heart diseases.
