Overview Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem, unlike a heart attack. What is cardiac arrest? Cardiac arrest happens when your heart stops beating or beats so fast that it stops pumping blood. During cardiac arrest, people typically collapse and become unresponsive. Symptoms start without warning. This is why it’s also known as sudden cardiac arrest. The condition can become fatal if you don’t get immediate treatment. If you notice the signs of cardiac arrest, call 911 immediately. Why do cardiac arrests happen? With cardiac arrest, abnormal, rapid impulses abruptly override the normal electrical impulses that start your heartbeat. When your heart isn’t beating, there’s no way to get oxygen-rich blood to the rest of your body. Cardiac arrest vs. heart attack Here’s how cardiac arrest and heart attack are different: Cardiac arrest happens when rapid, abnormal impulses override your heart’s natural rhythm. It’s an electrical issue. Heart attack occurs when a clogged artery disrupts blood flow to your heart. A heart attack is a common cause of cardiac arrest. Is cardiac arrest the same as sudden cardiac death? With cardiac arrest, your heart stops beating, but a rescue is still possible. With immediate treatment, you can survive. Sudden cardiac death refers to a cardiac arrest without someone saving you. Who does cardiac arrest affect? Sudden cardiac arrest happens in people with and without heart disease. Having a heart attack or other heart condition can significantly increase your risk. More than 356,000 Americans each year experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. It typically affects adults. Only 3% of cases involve children. Diagnosis and Tests How do you detect cardiac arrest? Cardiac arrest symptoms begin suddenly, leaving little time for tests. The condition can become fatal within minutes. This is why a quick diagnosis is essential. A person’s symptoms are often the best way to diagnose cardiac arrest, especially if they: Are unconscious.

Have no pulse.

Management and Treatment How is cardiac arrest treated? Emergency cardiac arrest treatment includes restarting your heart and restoring a regular rhythm. Care includes using: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) : Immediate CPR is one of the most important treatments to improve cardiac arrest survival. CPR is often performed until an automatic or external defibrillator is ready. CPR uses chest compressions to replace the heart’s pumping action. It moves small amounts of blood from your heart to your brain. Immediate CPR is one of the most important treatments to improve cardiac arrest survival. CPR is often performed until an automatic or external defibrillator is ready. CPR uses chest compressions to replace the heart’s pumping action. It moves small amounts of blood from your heart to your brain. Automatic defibrillator or external defibrillator: Once connected, this device delivers a brief electrical current (shock) to your chest. The current travels to your heart. This stops the abnormal impulses and restores the normal impulses that make it beat. It may take more than one shock for your heart to pump on its own again. How quickly should I receive treatment for cardiac arrest? Cardiac arrest can be fatal if it lasts longer than 8 minutes without CPR. Brain damage can happen after just 5 minutes. Cardiac arrest treatment should start right away, even if you’re not in the hospital. If you’re in a public area, like a school, mall or sports venue, CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED) can help. An AED is a device that a person without medical training can use to shock someone else’s heart. The AED confirms there’s no heartbeat before delivering the shock. Ideally, one person should use the AED while another calls 911.

Outlook / Prognosis What can I expect if I have cardiac arrest? Nearly nine out of 10 people who survive cardiac arrest have permanent brain damage from a lack of oxygen. This can bring changes to your daily life and abilities. You may experience: Ataxia, which affects movement and coordination.

Coma and persistent vegetative state.

Difficulty concentrating.

Dysphagia (swallowing issues).

Fatigue.

Forgetfulness.

Muscle weakness.

Seizures.

Speech disorders, including dysarthria.

Stroke.

Unusual behaviors, like being impulsive.

Vision problems, such as low vision. Survival without brain damage is far more likely with early CPR and defibrillation. Does cardiac arrest mean death? While most people don’t survive a cardiac arrest, survival rates are better than they were just 10 years ago. About 11% of people who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital and get emergency treatment survive and go home from the hospital. About 26% of people who have cardiac arrest inside a hospital survive and go home.
