Key Stage 4
Meaning
A Cardiac Arrest is when muscles in the heart are starved of Oxygen and die.
About Cardiac Arrests
- A cardiac arrest can cause the heart to stop beating.
- A cardiac arrest is usually caused by a blocked coronary artery which prevents Oxygen getting to a muscle in the heart.
- Once a cardiac arrest happens the muscle dies and can never be recovered.
- Cardiac arrests are often caused by Coronary Heart Disease and blod clots (usually a combination of both).
