CARDIAC ARREST MAY BE MORE COMMON IN YOUNG PEOPLE THAN PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED


According to a study published online in Circulation, while cardiac arrest is fairly uncommon in young people, it may be more common than previously believed. Investigators looked at data from a 30-year period in Washington's King County. The investigators reported that the cardiac arrest rate among kids and young adults was approximately 2.3 per 100,000 annually.
