What is the difference between having asystole and cardiac arrest?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Category...: Cardiac arrest means that the heart is no longer beating and this can be due to different rhythm disturbances. One of the rhythm disturbances that can lead to the heart stopping is asystole, when there is no electrical activity present (ie "flat line" on the heart monitor!).
