Finding causes of cardiac arrest in young adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at why young adults have a cardiac arrest (when the heart suddenly stops pumping) outside the hospital, with no injury involved. It aims to better understand causes such as heart, genetic, or other medical issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a cardiac arrest that happened outside the hospital and was not caused by an injury.
- You are a young adult (exact age range not specified in the given information).

This trial studies and checks decision rules doctors can use to decide when to stop CPR in patients who have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help make those decisions more consistent and safer across Asian countries.
This study collects information about people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital, where it is thought to be from a heart or blood-vessel cause. It helps researchers understand what happens and may improve future care, even though it is mainly about collecting data.
This trial is for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital and who received emergency resuscitation, where emergency doctors believed it was caused by a heart problem. The goal is to learn how to better treat or manage this type of cardiac arrest.
This study looks at witnessed sudden cardiac arrest happening in residential areas, and tests whether a new first-responder approach gets help to people faster. It may help improve outcomes after cardiac arrest by improving the timing and coordination of emergency response.
This study aims to understand the experiences of ambulance clinicians who have attended a child's cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The findings may help improve support for staff and care for children.
This study looks at measurements taken after someone survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to see if the results can predict outcomes. It may help doctors understand which patients are likely to do better and guide care in the ICU.
