The actress of the “Kaanto -law” fame, the gapel, died at the age of 42. According to reports, the actress postponed a massive heart stop on June 27, and despite the fact that the husband Paragui went to the hospital, she was recognized as dead at the hospital. Her sudden death at such a young age moved the emphasis on the health of the heart, and why so many young people either die from heart disease or were diagnosed. However, when it comes to diseases, the conditions of the heart attack and cardiac arrest are interchangeable. However, there are some key differences between them. Let’s see …A heart attack against a heart stopThe heart attack occurs when one or more coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become partially or completely blocked. This blocking reduces or stops blood flow rich in the heart, causing damage or death of this area of the heart muscle. Unlike this, a sudden cardiac arrest is an electric problem when the heart suddenly stops fighting properly. The electrical system of the heart is malfunction, causing the heart to stop the blood effectively, leading to sudden loss of heart and breathing.
Causes conditionsHeart attacks are mainly caused by blockage in the coronary arteries due to blood clots or the accumulation of fat deposits (atherosclerosis). This blockage is a hungry part of the oxygen heart muscle, as a result of dying, although the patient may survive. The cardiac stop, however, is usually caused by a pathological heart rate called ventricular fibrillation, which disrupts the electrical signals of the heart and suddenly stops the heartbeat. While a heart attack can sometimes cause heart arrest, cardiac arrest can also occur because of other reasons such as electrical problems, injury or severe electrolytes imbalance.SymptomsHeart attacks often come with warning signs that can start slowly or suddenly, even months earlier. Common symptoms include chest pain or discomfort (often described as pressure, squeezing or completeness), pain that radiates hands, neck, jaw or back, breathing, sweating, nausea and dizziness. These symptoms can last minutes or come and go. A heart stop, on the other hand, is usually without warning. The person suddenly collapses, loses consciousness, ceases to breathe or shows the wrong breathless breaths and has no pulse. Unlike heart attacks, cardiac arrest usually does not cause chest pain and sweating.What happens to the patientDuring the heart attack, the heart usually continues to fight, although it may be weak or irregular. The person remains conscious and may experience pain or discomfort, but not always (always) immediately lose consciousness. At a sudden stop of the heart, the heart ceases to beat effectively, so the blood ceases to enter the brain and other vital organs. This makes a person collapse instantly and lose consciousness in seconds. Without immediate treatment, cardiac arrest leads to death within minutes, and thus the window to save someone is extremely narrow.
Immediate treatmentBoth conditions are extraordinary situations and require immediate treatment. For a heart attack, the treatment includes a cure for clumps, angioplasty to open blocked arteries or surgery. Rapid treatment can limit the damage to the heart muscle and improve survival. The heart delay requires immediate rescue action (and within minutes), emergency calls, launch of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to continue blood and using an automated external defiber (AED) to restore normal heartbeat. Defibrillation is crucial because the cardiac arrest is caused by an electric problem, and only an electric blow can restart the heart.Thin signsUnfortunately, the subtle signs of the heart stop is easy to ignore (if they occur at all), but their recognition is crucial for timely intervention. These include unusual fatigue, dizziness, breathing, palpitations and even nausea or back pain, especially in women. They can start weeks and even months before heart stop, and can be chronic or sporadic. (Come and go) However, it is important to remember that a sudden cardiac arrest is often unpredictable and can affect seemingly healthy people who have no heart history.Sources: The British Fund of the Heart The American Heart Association Unification American heart association – symptoms
