Firstly, the rescue approach for cardiogenic sudden death is the same regardless of the cause, whether it is rheumatic heart disease, coronary heart disease, malignant arrhythmia, or any other reason. If cardiogenic sudden death occurs, the rescue method is the same, which is to urgently perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR includes chest compressions of at least 100 per minute, and these must be effectively carried out. Secondly, artificial respiration must be performed, at about fourteen to fifteen times per minute. These two measures are the primary measures in the rescue of cardiogenic sudden death caused by rheumatic heart disease.
