Do you know the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest?
They’re often confused but recognising the signs could help you act fast and potentially ❤️🙌

🔹 Heart attack: Blood flow to part of the heart is blocked. The person is usually awake, may have chest pain, and needs urgent medical help but their heart is still beating.
🔹 Cardiac arrest: The heart suddenly stops beating. The person collapses, stops breathing normally, and becomes unresponsive. This is life-threatening and needs immediate CPR and defibrillation.

Knowing what you’re seeing and how to respond can make all the difference. Early action saves lives.

If you haven’t learned CPR yet (or need a refresher), now’s a great time:
