PREVENTING SCA

Primary prevention treatments may be prescribed for people seeking medical care due to SCA symptoms and/or identified risk factors. They include:

  • Medications for specific heart conditions
  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to provide internal protection from SCA
  • Interventional procedures or bypass surgery for repairing damaged or defective heart tissue
  • Modification of risk factors, or making changes that promote a healthy heart such as better nutritional and exercise habits.
