Which causes are known to trigger Asystole?

Asystole, which is the absence of electrical activity in the heart, can indeed be triggered by several underlying conditions. In this context, acidosis and hypoxia are important factors to consider.

Acidosis, particularly metabolic acidosis, leads to alterations in the body's pH levels. A significant deviation in pH can disrupt normal cardiac electrical activity and ultimately lead to asystole. Similarly, hypoxia, which refers to inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues, can impair cardiomyocyte function and electrical conduction, contributing to cardiac arrest or asystole.

These two conditions directly impact the heart's ability to function effectively, increasing the risk of asystole. The other choices, while they may be associated with significant cardiac events, do not specifically align with the common triggers for asystole as directly as acidosis and hypoxia do.
