What is the difference between cardiac arrest and a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart and brain: A cardiac arrest happens when there is a rhythm or pumping problem with the heart so bad that there is essentially not enough blood flow to support life. Ma stroke happens when there is not enough oxygen delivery to the brain (or spinal cord), and the neurons (brain cells) die.
