Sudden cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of all heart activity due to an irregular heart rhythm. Sudden cardiac arrest doesn't occur due to a blockage. Can steroid use cause cardiac arrest? Initiating CPR as soon as cardiac arrest occurs can increase the chances of survival, along with immediately calling emergency services. The outcome of cardiac arrest is generally not good, but knowing CPR and having AED devices available gives any patient the best possible chance of survival.
