What is Cardiac Arrest?

[Douglas]

What exactly is Cardiac arrest? Is it sort of like a heart attack or stroke?

[Andre]

Heart attack mate.
stroke is brain.
cardiovascular is to do with heart valves and viens around the heart and begining of circulation system etc.

Cardiac = Heart

Arrest = FREEZE! = Stop


So, it's when your heart stops.

I'd heard that very few people who suffer from cardiac arrest ever survive it. I figured it had something to do with the heart, I just didn't know what caused it.

It's when you steal a vehicle without consent (and it has to be a Pontiac), then, after a high speed police chase you are eventually cornered and arrested.

Cardiac Arrest is basically a heart attack but a bit different...a heart attack can happen in different ways...heart too fast and just stops...heart weak and slows down til it stops etc...

When someone has cardiac arrest the heart contracts and keeps trying to get tighter...almost like making a fist and you keep trying to squeeze it and squeeze it to make it tighter.....

That is the reason why it is more dangerous then just a normal heart attack...a regular heart attack the heart can be restarted to beat again...cardiac arrest the heart is already in contraction so it can't be jump started...needs to be relaxed

Thanks for explaining. I didn't realize what the difference was.

Also another thing is that you can have a heart attack and it is not your whole heart...it can be a portion or just 2 valves etc...cardiac arrest means the whole heart

I think "Cardiac" is when your car gets stolen.

And "Arrest" is when the carjacker gets handcuffed by cops.

If its got a leak you can rescue yourself with chilli the hotter the better or chilli powedr mixed in warm water and drink ,its balances your blood pressure out either from high to low or from low to high and works on leaks that effect pressure including slowing gapeing wounds anywhere on your body.

If it contracts into an attack I heard a surgeon say the best thing you can do forself is cough.

Chinese drop a knuckle into the centre of your top lip and squeeze the tips of your left little fingers around.

Never heard the one abot chili powdered mixed, but I have some say that coughing will help. They also say for a heart attack Aspirin will help because it thins the blood, making it easier to flow.

Quit yo jibber-jabber fool, and desist from stealing my jokes.

Cardiac arrest is when your heart stops beating. If you still have electrical activity EMTs can use a defribillator to get your heart going again. If there is no electrical activity someone can do CPR for hours and there is no way you're ever coming back.
