==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A [[Cardiac Arrest]] is when [[muscle]]s 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|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 [[Blood Clot|blod clots]] (usually a combination of both).
