In today’s world sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has become a growing concern of death among
the young adults of age group (18-50 years). There are nearly 2 million cases of SCA

the general population needs to be prioritized from a clinical and public health point. The
reason behind the increasing incidence is risk factors such as stress, physical inactivity, and
unhealthy lifestyle. Assessing and identifying the major risk factors and managing them can
reduce the burden of the disease.
