Which celebrity will go into cardiac arrest or get a heart attack this year?

Background: We all know what happen Michael Jackson. Unfortunately it was too late for him.
Cardiac arrest is an abrupt cessation of pump function in the heart (as evidenced by the absence of a palpable pulse). Cardiac arrest can usually be reversed with prompt intervention but, without such intervention, it will almost always lead to death.
You can survive Cardiac arrest:

* Early recognition - If possible, recognition of illness before the patient develops a cardiac arrest will allow the rescuer to prevent its occurrence. Early recognition that a cardiac arrest has occurred is key to survival - for every minute a patient is in cardiac arrest, their chances of survival drop by roughly 10%

* Early CPR - This buys time by keeping vital organs perfused with oxygen whilst waiting for equipment and trained personnel to reverse the arrest. In particular, by keeping the brain supplied with oxygenated blood, chances of neurological damage are decreased.

* Early defibrillation - This is the only effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation, and also has benefit in ventricular tachycardia[11] and should be employed in such cases if the patient has signs of hemodynamic compromise, or if the patient has pulseless ventricular tachycardia. If defibrillation is delayed, then the rhythm is likely to degenerate into asystole, for which outcomes are markedly worse.

* Early advanced care - Early Advanced Cardiac Life Support is the final link in the chain of survival.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
