If the person is physically healthy, is there a possible risk of having a cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest: Cardiac arrest is far more likely to happen in someone with severe cardiac abnormality. Having said that abnormalities can be hidden and outwardly healthy folks have rarely had cardiac arrest.
