Sudden Cardiac Arrest Can Strike Without Warning

The difference between a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops beating, sometimes with no warning. A heart attack happens when blood flow is blocked, but the heart is still beating.

💡 Why it matters: Quick action can save lives. Knowing the signs, understanding who’s at risk, and acting fast is essential.

Take a moment to educate yourself and your loved ones—awareness can be lifesaving.
