The difference between a Heart Attack & Cardiac Arrest:

Heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked, usually by a clot. The heart usually keeps beating, but part of it is starved of oxygen.

Cardiac arrest happens when the heart suddenly stops beating. This stops blood from flowing to the brain and other organs.
In short:

Heart attack = blood flow problem.
Cardiac arrest = electrical problem (heart stops).

A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest if not treated quickly.

Why learn First Aid?

You should learn first aid because it empowers you to take immediate, effective action during medical emergencies. Here are a few key reasons:

Save lives – Quick first aid can keep someone alive until professional help arrives.
Prevent worsening – Proper care can stop an injury or illness from becoming more serious.
Reduce recovery time – Prompt treatment can lead to faster healing and fewer complications.
Boost confidence – Knowing what to do helps you stay calm and act decisively under pressure.
Be prepared anywhere – Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere—at home, work, or in public.
In short, learning first aid makes you a valuable resource in your community and could make the difference between life and death.

CPR::

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving emergency procedure that helps maintain blood flow to the brain and heart in a person who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating. It significantly increases the chances of survival and recovery after cardiac arrest, especially when performed immediately. CPR is crucial because it buys time until professional medical help arrives, preventing brain damage and increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome.

If you’ve called 999 for emergency help, only call us back if the patient’s condition changes. Our Emergency Medical Advisors can’t say when an ambulance will be with you, and this blocks a line for a new life-threatening emergency call.

🚨Remember:

💔Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem - the person will be unconscious.
💔Heart attack is a circulation problem - the person will probably be conscious.

Get to recognise the difference so you know what action to take in an emergency.
