It is different from a heart attack and many times more dangerous. In 90 percent of cases of cardiac arrest outside the hospital, the patient dies. This problem is being seen in people even at a young age. It is also dangerous because in many cases it does not show any symptoms. Let us know what is cardiac arrest and how it is different from a heart attack...

What is cardiac arrest?

According to experts, due to cardiac arrest, the heart suddenly stops working. Due to this, the body parts are not able to supply blood properly and due to lack of oxygen in the brain, a person dies. This is the reason why people die while dancing or in the gym. According to experts, initially, there is a sudden sharp pain in the chest when cardiac arrest occurs. There is mild sweating. This is a symptom of a heart attack and within a few minutes, it becomes a cardiac arrest. It becomes very difficult to save the life of the patient when cardiac arrest occurs. According to an estimate, only 3 out of 100 patients have a chance of survival in case of cardiac arrest outside the hospital. In this, the patient can be recovered with CPR. However, most people do not know about CPR.

Cardiac arrest and coronavirus

According to health experts, coronavirus is also one of the reasons for the increase in cardiac arrest cases. Due to this virus, blood clots are formed in the body and due to the clots formed in the veins of the heart, the heart is unable to pump blood properly. This blockage causes a heart attack. Which causes cardiac arrest within half an hour to 15 minutes.

No matter how fit you may look, no matter how well you maintain your diet, you may still face the problem of cardiac arrest. If you do not get treatment within a few minutes of cardiac arrest, you may die.
