Cardiac Arrest

Also called: Sudden cardiac death

The heart has an internal electrical system that controls the rhythm of the heartbeat. Problems can cause abnormal heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. There are many types of arrhythmia. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or it can stop beating. Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart develops an arrhythmia that causes it to stop beating. This is different than a heart attack, where the heart usually continues to beat but blood flow to the heart is blocked.
There are many possible causes of cardiac arrest. They include coronary heart disease, heart attack, electrocution, drowning, or choking. There may not be a known cause to the cardiac arrest.
Without medical attention, the person will die within a few minutes. People are less likely to die if they have early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. Defibrillation is delivering an electric shock to restore the heart rhythm to normal.

Vascular Diseases

The vascular system is the body's network of blood vessels. It includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. Problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. Arteries can become thick and stiff, a problem called arteriosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels and block blood flow to the heart or brain. Weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding inside the body.

You are more likely to have vascular disease as you get older. Other factors that make vascular disease more likely include

Family history of vascular or heart diseases

Pregnancy

Illness or injury

Long periods of sitting or standing still

Any condition that affects the heart and blood vessels, such as diabetes or high cholesterol

Smoking

Obesity

Losing weight, eating healthy foods, being active and not smoking can help vascular disease. Other treatments include medicines and surgery.

Heart Surgery

Also called: Cardiac surgery

Each day, thousands of people have heart surgery. There are many different types of heart surgery. Surgeries may be used to

Repair or replace the valves that control blood flow through the heart's chambers

Bypass or widen blocked or narrowed arteries to the heart

Repair aneurysms, or bulges in the aorta, which can be deadly if they burst

Implant devices to regulate heart rhythms Destroy small amounts of tissue that disturb electrical flow through the heart

Make channels in the heart muscle to allow blood from a heart chamber directly into the heart muscle

Boost the heart's pumping power with muscles taken from the back or abdomen

Replace the damaged heart with a heart from a donor
