Clinical aspects and treatment strategies all you must know about cardiac arrest & heart attack
Heart malfunctioning can result in life-threatening medical emergencies like cardiac arrest and heart attack. The latter, scientifically referred to as myocardial infarction, is a disturbance in blood circulation to the heart, with chest pain, nausea, and sweating as the chief symptoms. On the other hand, cardiac arrest is an electrical problem that disrupts the heartbeat and is characterized by the absence of a pulse, breathing, and consciousness. While a heart attack can cause cardiac arrest, other medical difficulties such as a severe allergic reaction, a drug overdose, or an electrolyte imbalance can also bring about this condition.
