Also, people who are ageing need to be extra careful about their health as these are the group of people who are among the worst hit by cardic arrest and other heart-related ailments.
Here are a few of the points that help one to differentiate a cardiac arrest from a heart attack and the ways to prevent them. Take a look.
#1. The first fact is that in case of a cardiac arrest the heart actually stops beating totally. But in case of a heart attack the heart will keep beating but the coronory arteries will get blocked.
#2. The first symptoms that a victim of a cardiac arrest shows are sudden loss of consciousness, no breathing and loss of pulse. On the other hand chest pain, breathlessness and sweating are the major symptoms of a heart attack.
#3. So what causes a cardaic arrest? When the heart rhythm becomes abnormal, its natural electrical activity gets affected and it's not able to pump the blood to the body. This leads to a cardiac arrest. On the other hand, a blockage of the coronory arteries leads to a heart attack.
#4. Yet another important fact about a cardiac arrest is that a heart attack can give rise to a cardiac arrest. When the supply of blood to the heart muscle is disrupted it can stop the heart beat and the person suffers from a cardiac arrest.
#5. Risk factors for cardiac arrest include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and family history of heart disease.
#6. The only similarity is that if left untreated on time, both - cardiac arrest and heart attack will turn fatal. Hence, getting immediate medical intervention within minutes of a cardiac arrest or a heart attack is very important.
