In simple words, the heart suddenly stops working during cardiac arrest and often results in a person’s death. For a cardiac arrest to happen, it is not necessary for that person to have been diagnosed of a heart condition. It can also happen due to the presence of other symptoms.
Difference between cardiac arrest and heart attack
A lot of people get confused between cardiac arrest and heart attack. The difference is that in heart attack, there are blocked arteries that do not allow the regular flow of oxygen to the body, and heart attack can be sudden and can also silently persist for hours. However, in case of cardiac arrest, the heart suddenly stop working. Most often, cardiac arrest is fatal.
