Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest– Do you know the difference? During CPR & AED Awareness Week, here’s what everyone should know:
🫀 A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked — the person may still be awake and talking.
⚡ Cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops — the person collapses and becomes unresponsive.
‼️ Both require an immediate call to 911!
