HEART ATTACK “Death of part of the heart muscle due to inadequate supply of blood and oxygen.”“Death of part of the heart muscle due to inadequate supply of blood and oxygen.” Signs of a heart attack:Signs of a heart attack: Severe chest pain or pressureSevere chest pain or pressure Sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, heartburn, back painSweating, nausea, shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, heartburn, back pain *Signs may last for several minutes

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Cardiac arrest is present when the heart stops pumping.Cardiac arrest is present when the heart stops pumping. The most common cause of cardiac arrest in adults is an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF)The most common cause of cardiac arrest in adults is an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF) In VF the heart quivers uselessly and does not pump blood.In VF the heart quivers uselessly and does not pump blood. VF requires an immediate electric shock – defibrillation – to the heart to allow the normal heart rhythm to resumeVF requires an immediate electric shock – defibrillation – to the heart to allow the normal heart rhythm to resume

Sudden Cardiac Arrest The best chance for survival depends on early CPR and early defibrillationThe best chance for survival depends on early CPR and early defibrillation For every minute that passes without defibrillation, the victim’s chances of survival falls by 7 – 10 % (unless CPR is provided)For every minute that passes without defibrillation, the victim’s chances of survival falls by 7 – 10 % (unless CPR is provided) 4 minutes: Brain damage begins4 minutes: Brain damage begins 10-12 minutes: Chance of survival is small unless CPR is provided10-12 minutes: Chance of survival is small unless CPR is provided
