Startups, stress and Sudden Cardiac Arrests

One more case of SCA of a startup CEO. I guess too much stress of running one is a contributing factor. The startups should at least have multiple AED defibrillators in their vicinity, if not people trained to perform CPR.

I personally think these are all after effects of Covid which has left people weak in cardiac sense (or maybe vaccination). Startup guys are in news but there scores more have passed away at younger age. And they were not running any startups or stressful jobs. Ofcourse this is just anecdotal and not any formal study.

CPR is not easy to perform even with the right tools. I took a class for it. Compressions are supposed to be > 2 inches deep. That is rib cage fracture force about 100-500 times without stopping. If its a woman, you are supposed to undress her completely (for compressions and for difrib). I cant imagine desi junta will have the courage or even the physical fitness for this.
