Both a heart attack and cardiac arrest can be scary and life-threatening medical conditions affecting your heart, but there are differences in how and why they occur. 🫀

A heart attack is caused by a blockage. It happens when an artery blocks the blood flow to your heart.

Cardiac arrest is an electrical issue. It occurs when quick, irregular impulses take over your heart’s rhythm.

And while most people will survive a heart attack, cardiac arrest is something that few people survive. It’s important in either case that you act fast and call 911.

Heart attack symptoms:

Chest pain, also known as angina.
Shortness of breath.
Trouble breathing.
Fatigue.
Insomnia.
Nausea or indigestion.
Heart palpitations.
Anxiety.
Sweating.
Dizziness or lightheadedness.

Cardiac arrest symptoms:

Fainting.
Chest pain.
Shortness of breath.
Nausea and vomiting.
Heart palpitations.
Dizziness or lightheadedness.

Cardiac arrest symptoms typically start without warning.
