Cardiac arrest in an electrical signaling issue and develops suddenly.

Heart Attack and Sudden Cardiac Arrest Differences

I've known people that have had heart attacks, had a bypass and yet still didn't change their eating/exercise habits. That is probably responsible for at least part of that 1:5 ratio you speak of.
I think the concern is the scar tissue that builds up from the first attack. They never go away.
