  • What is cardiac arrest?

    Cardiac arrest is the sudden, unexpected loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness.

  • What causes cardiac arrest?

    Cardiac arrest is typically caused when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions. This causes the heart to stop beating properly. A heart attack, on the other hand, is caused by a blockage that stops blood flow to the heart.

  • How is cardiac arrest treated?

    Cardiac arrest can be reversed if CPR is performed immediately and a defibrillator is used to shock the heart back into normal rhythm.

    Your doctor will discuss if you are at a higher risk of experiencing cardiac arrest because of a pre-existing heart condition. Together, you can make a plan that will help you stay safe and inform your loved ones what to do in an emergency.
