In Vietnam, emergency medical assistance can be requested by calling 115. Prompt CPR and early defibrillation can significantly improve the chances of survival from cardiac arrest.
4. Building a long-term prevention plan
Preventing sudden death requires more than responding to emergencies. Regular medical examinations can help identify high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol levels, and previously undiagnosed heart conditions. Depending on individual risk factors, a healthcare professional may recommend an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, or other diagnostic investigations.
