Why is India seeing an uptick in heart-related issues? Today, this article will decode the increasing cases. First of all, it is important to understand the difference between a heart attack, heart stroke, and cardiac arrest.
Heart Attack: A heart attack is a serious condition where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked, usually by a blood clot.
Heart stroke: Heart stroke is also called a brain attack whereby the supply of blood to the brain is hampered, causing the part of the brain to die.
Cardiac arrest: A sudden halt in the functioning of the heart is called cardiac arrest. Loss of consciousness and unresponsiveness are among the primary signs. Without prompt intervention, the person can die on the spot.
