Behavioral risk factors of sudden cardiac arrest
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and the behavioral factors exhaustion and nonexpression of emotions.
Methods: Case-control study of 99 victims of SCA and 119 coronary controls, matched for gender and age.
Results: Victims of SCA were more often assessed as exhausted and as closed by their family members than controls. A significant interaction between exhaustion and closeness on the risk of SCA was observed. Those who were exhausted and did not express their emotions had a sevenfold greater risk of SCA.
Conclusion: The behavioral factor of exhaustion and nonexpression of emotions may contribute to the identification of persons at elevated risk for SCA.
