A member asked:
Help please! is death from heart attack and heart arrhythmia the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Death is death: Both can occur together. Heart attack is dying muscle from blockage in general. Arrythmias are caused by heart attack, chemical imbalances, and a variety of items. Ventricular tachycardia, and fibrillation are the common "arrest" rhythms along with asystole and heart block- bradycardia s.
