    Cardiac Arrest is a sudden, unexpected loss of heart function, breathing, and consciousness.

Let's break down the word and understand what cardiac arrest is

Cardiac:- Heart

Arrest:- Setback,Stopped

By the above words, we can understand that Cardiac Arrest means stopping the activity of the heart.

(i.e The lack of blood circulation to the heart stops the blood circulation to the brain and other organs can cause the person to lose consciousness, and even leads to die if not treated immediately.)

Also, we called Cardiac arrest as Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) because it causes/happens within a few seconds of time.

• "70% of heart attack deaths in India last year occurred in the 30-60 age group.
• "Number of death due to heart attack in India has remained consistently avg 25000 in a year and an avg 28000 in 3years".
• In the last 10 years from 2012 to 2021, there had been 54% increase in Heart attack deaths- NCRB & ADSI says.

2. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) (clink here to watch video)
3. Depression

• One of the American group studied from the year 1993 to 2011 and reviewed that, mental health issues following Cardiac Arrest were experienced outside of the hospital in around 15%-50% and more patients.
• Month to year after surviving Cardiac Arrest, about 1/3rd of patients were depressed and nearly 2/3rd experienced anxiety (Date source:-Reuters).

Finally to quote Samuel Sears's words "Psychology recovery includes the Patient developing feelings of safety and believing the future will be prosperous.- Samuel Sears, Professor, East Carolina University.
