With its pumping action disrupted, the heart cannot pump blood to the brain, lungs, and other organs.
What are the signs and symptoms of cardiac arrest?
Chest pain
Dizziness
Palpitations
Fainting
Breathlessness.
How do you treat sudden cardiac arrest? Following the steps in the Chain of Survival provides the best chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest, including early use of a defibrillator to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm.
