True or False 4 points A heart attack and a cardiac arrest are the same thing True False

False. A heart attack and a cardiac arrest are not the same thing. A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. This can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle. On the other hand, a cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating, leading to a lack of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that requires immediate CPR and medical attention.
