While most of us know about the dangers of cardiac arrests, we often find it difficult to differentiate it from a heart attack.
Both are life-threatening and can be fatal. Hence, it’s important to be informed about what to look out for before a cardiac arrest or heart attack is about to happen and how they can be prevented, reported Indian Express.
Cardiac arrests can occur suddenly without any sort of warning. They are triggered by the electrical malfunctioning in the heart that causes the heart to beat irregularly.
A cardiac arrest occurs because of rapid heartbeat called the Ventricular Tachycardia or Ventricular Fibrillation but at times can be due to extreme slowing of the heart rate, which ultimately leads to the stopping of the heartbeat.
