Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have diagnosed heart disease. The time and mode of death are unexpected. It occurs instantly or shortly after symptoms appear.
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD. A cardiac arrest is also called a cardiopulmonary arrest or circulatory arrest and indicates a sudden stop in effective and normal blood circulation due to failure of the heart to pump blood. Cardiac arrest is different from myocardial infarction or heart attack but may be caused by a heart attack. When the blood flow to the heart is stopped due to narrow or obstructed coronary arteries, a heart attack occurs. This may lead to a cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. Once the usual blood circulation stops, oxygen delivery to all vital organs is also stopped.
