What is Cardiac Arrest
CARDIAC ARREST occurs when the heart malfunctions and stops beating unexpectedly.
Cardiac arrest is an “ELECTRICAL” problem.
Cardiac arrest is triggered by an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). With its pumping action disrupted, the heart cannot pump blood to the brain, lungs and other organs.
What Happens
Seconds later, a person becomes unresponsive, is not breathing or is only gasping. Death occurs within minutes if the victim does not receive treatment.
What to Do
Cardiac arrest can be reversible in some victims if it's treated within a few minutes.

- First, call your local emergency number and start CPR right away.
- Then, if an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is available, use it as soon as possible.
- If two people are available to help, one should begin CPR immediately while the other calls your local emergency number and finds an AED.
