Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest: What’s the Difference?
Heart attack and cardiac arrest are both medical emergencies, but they’re different: a heart attack is a circulation problem (a blocked artery damages heart muscle), while cardiac arrest is an electrical failure that causes the heart to stop. Knowing the signs helps you act fast—call emergency services for heart attack symptoms like chest pressure, pain spreading to the arm or jaw, shortness of breath, nausea, or sweating, and chew aspirin if not allergic; for sudden collapse with no normal breathing or pulse, call 911, start CPR immediately, and use an AED if available. This article clearly explains symptoms, risks, treatments (medications and stents vs. defibrillation), and prevention tips, empowering patients and caregivers to respond confidently and potentially save a life.
