What are the most common causes of sudden cardiac arrest in children?

Conditions or accidents that can make a child’s heart suddenly stop beating include:

• Congenital heart disease.
• Infectious diseases.
• Respiratory conditions.
• Severe injury (trauma).
• Toxins (ingesting poisonous substances).

These issues lower oxygen levels or reduce the volume of blood. This prevents your heart from functioning.
