In a cardiac arrest, the heart stops pumping. This is caused by an electrical malfunction of the heart. In a heart attack, the heart's artery is blocked. This causes a lack of oxygen and damages the heart. In a heart attack, the heart usually does not stop beating.<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"bde-heading-1828-154 bde-heading\">\nWhat is cardiac arrest?\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-rich-text-1828-119 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case of cardiac arrest*, an electrical malfunction of the heart causes it to stop pumping. Without prompt intervention, the victim will die from this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><small><em>In common parlance, people often speak of a \u2018cardiac arrest\u2019.
