Cardiac arrest means stopping of the heart which is mostly due to abnormality in the electrical activity of the heart. But a heart attack can cause a cardiac arrest, though heart attack is not the only cause of a cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest can occur due to other causes like electrical disorders of the heart which itself may be due to inherited heart rhythm disorders, abnormalities in the blood electrolytes, toxins etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardiac arrest means stopping of the heart which is mostly due to abnormality in the electrical activity of the heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35268,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-heart-disease-faq"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are heart attack and cardiac arrest the same?
