cardiac events

Cardiac events refer to serious health incidents involving the heart, such as heart attacks and cardiac arrest. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, leading to damage. Cardiac arrest happens when the heart stops beating effectively, which can result from an irregular heartbeat. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, or loss of consciousness. Prompt medical attention is critical for both conditions as they can be life-threatening. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol can help prevent these events.
