Is there a difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest?
NO
To: SwordofTruth
What laymen generally call a heart attack is caused by myocardial infarction or coronary article obstruction. The flow of blood to the heart muscle is stopped or impeded and is the reason the heart quits or goes into erratic ineffectual rhythm. A cardiac arrest can happen without this.
