Nearly 12% were reached for emergency services 24 hours before cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is a condition known for its sudden appearance. Most people who live the unexpectedLoss of cardiac function, breathing and conscience, do not notice any warning sign.

Nearly 12% of people call 911 within 24 hours before having a cardiac arrest.
A recently presented study at the Cardiology Congress European Society examined the data of 4,071 people with cardiac arrest excluding hospitals. Research revealed that about 1 of 10 people - 11.8% -Calls Calls for emergency services within 24 hours before having a cardiac arrest.
Patients who presented these emergency calls experienced a variety of symptoms. The most commonly reported were breathing problems (59.4%), confusion (23%), unconsciousness (20.2%), thoracic pain (19.5%) and pallor ( 19.1%).

An emergency medical response has been shipped more often for thoracic pain than for respiratory problems.
Although more heart arrests reach emergency services due to respiratory difficulties, these appellants have not received emergency medical responses almost as frequently as those who called because of thoracic pain. The study found that an urgent medical response was shipped only in 68.7% of calls where a person reported respiratory problems. Meanwhile, 83% of people who stated that chest pain received an urgent response.
"The difficulty of breathing was the most common complaint and much more common than chest pain. Despite this, in relation to thoracic pain, patients with respiratory problems were less likely to receive emergency medical assistance" , co-study authorFilip Gnesin said in a statement.
But people who have reported difficulties in breathing had a lower survival rate.
Gnesin said that research shows that patients with breathing difficulties "are more likely to die within 30 days of the [cardiac] arrest." The study revealed that 81% of patients reporting breathing difficulties in front of the cardiac arrest died within 30 days. Meanwhile, a smaller part of patients who reported thoracic pain during their emergency Call-47% died within 30 days of cardiac arrest.
"These results indicate that respiratory problems are an underestimated warning sign of cardiac arrest," said Gnesin. "Since the difficulty to breathe is also a sign of other conditions of health, we hope that our findings will stimulate new research to help emergency medical dispatchers distinguish the symptoms of a pre-arrested condition in relation to others medical problems.

"When the warning panels are apparently minor, flu symptoms can be difficult to take them seriously", electrophysiologistFAIZ Subzosh, MD, said to Geingeer. He stated that "could be the reason only one of five patients who notice that the symptoms choose to report them".
A 2015 study published in theAnnals of internal medicine found that 51% of patients knewWarning symptomswithin four weeks before cardiac arrest. Of these patients, 93% saw their symptoms breed for 24 hours before their cardiac arrival. The most common symptom was thoracic pain, with 46% of symptomatic patients reporting.
