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.
