What is a heart attack? A heart attack is caused when blood is blocked from flowing in a blood vessel to the heart. If oxygen-enriched blood cannot flow to the heart, it can be damaged.
What is cardiac arrest? Cardiac arrest occurs when a heart's electrical system malfunctions and causes the heart to beat irregularly. The person loses heart function, breathing, and consciousness suddenly without warning.
Can a heart attack lead to cardiac arrest? Yes. A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest.
What should a person do if someone is suffering from a heart attack or cardiac arrest? It's important to very quickly do two things: summon medical assistance and provide first aid until medical care arrives.
