Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest
The difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest. Both this one sounds very similar because both of them can suddenly end your life. So what is heart attack and what is cardiac arrest? To understand thatI think you should first understand the basic physiology of the heart. So heart is a pump, it starts pumping from the day you are born to the day you die. So to make sure the heart pumps efficiently and continuously there are two circuits which help your heart. One circuit is a tube or the blood vessel which is carrying blood to the heart muscle. So continuously the blood is flowed into the blood vessel which carry blood to the heart muscle. So the heart muscle is continuously nourished. So this is what we call the coronary arteries. These are theblood vessel which carries blood to the heart muscle and it is not only this circuit, there is also another circuit which take electricity through the fiber across your heart. So this is called electrical impulse or the nerve impulse. T
