What Causes Cardiac Events?

There are many different causes of cardiac events, though most are related to severe stress, physical exertion, or a medical condition. When a cardiac event is caused by a medical condition, it is often the result of that condition being misdiagnosed, improperly treated, or not treated at all -- in other words, medical malpractice.

Some of the most common causes of cardiac events include:

• Severe trauma, such as a car accident
• Defective drugs or medical devices
• Exposure to toxic substances
• Severe physical exertion
• Severe emotional stress
• Medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol
• Blockages in the arteries
• Heart valve disease
• Arrhythmia
