Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition where the heart suddenly stops beating, leading to a lack of oxygen to the body's vital organs. It is different from a heart attack, and can be caused by an electrical disturbance in the heart. Immediate treatment with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation is crucial for increasing the chances of survival.
