What is Cardiac Arrest ?

Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency. In order for someone to survive, CPR must be conducted within the first 4-5 minutes. A shock may be provided during CPR to re start the heart but if this is not possible other interventions using drugs may be required. Most people who develop cardiac arrest have no premonitory signs or symptoms.

In the USA coronary disease is the number one cause of cardiac arrest but in younger individuals other causes may include heart abnormalities, trauma, rupture of a blood vessel, over dose, a blood clot or drowning.
