What is cardiac arrest?
In brief, cardiac arrest is a sudden and dangerous condition where the heart fails to beat effectively, resulting in a loss of consciousness and breathing due to disrupted blood flow.
This medical emergency requires urgent action, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, to restore normal heart rhythm and circulation. Without immediate treatment, cardiac arrest can be fatal within a few minutes.
