How Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Diagnosed?

Sudden cardiac arrest happens without warning and requires emergency treatment. Doctors rarely diagnose sudden cardiac arrest with medical tests as it's happening. Instead, sudden cardiac arrest often is diagnosed after it happens with tests such as an electrocardiogram (EKG), echocardiography, MUGA test, cardiac MRI, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology study, and blood tests.
