摘要

Sudden cardiac death is one of the leading causes of death and a major public health problem that particularly affects the elderly. Sudden cardiac death may be a terminal event after a prolonged debilitating and painful illness, or it may occur following many years of symptoms related to a cardiac disorder; however, in many elderly persons, the cardiac arrest may be the first manifestation of cardiac disease in a supposedly healthy and physically active person. Whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed in elderly patients who sustain cardiac arrest is a significant issue confronting the medical profession and the general public. Several questions must be answered when evaluating the decision of whether or not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on an elderly patient.
