The Zoll AED Plus is a biphasic AED. A unique feature is that it is one of the few defibrillators on the market that provide CPR feedback. ***********************Project StatReview is an educational initiative to familiarize rescuers with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) that they may use in their workplaces, public locations or homes. The project provides a short video on how to power on the AED, an opportunity to listen to the provided voice prompts and how to deliver a rescue shock. These videos do not replace CPR/AED training, which is easily available through local training agencies. Project StatReview does not endorse one particular brand of defibrillator over another.

What Is the Difference Between a Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest?

!±8± What Is the Difference Between a Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest?

Although you may have heard the terms cardiac arrest and heart attack used interchangeably, they are two distinct situations with different symptoms and effects. The term heart attack refers to the muscle tissue in the heart being damaged by lack of blood flow. When a person experiences a heart attack, it is usually due to a blood clot in one of their heart's major arteries which drastically limits or stops the blood flow to the heart. Once the flow of blood is cut off from the muscle tissue in the heart, it will begin to die and cause severe chest pains.

Symptoms of Heart Attack:
Chest Pain Pressure, heaviness or tightness in the chest Pain or pressure in the neck or jaw Shortness of Breath Sweating Pain or throbbing at or in-between the shoulder blades

The condition cardiac arrest refers to when the heart actually fails to pump blood to the bodies vital organs. In the case of cardiac arrest, the heart will either stop pumping blood adroitly, or vary in speed which would render it useless. A person experiencing cardiac arrest can die within four minutes if not immediately receiving efficient medical attention. There are three main causes for sudden cardiac arrest are ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and asystole.

Ventricular Fibrillation

Ventricular fibrillation occurs when the heart muscle begins to quiver erratically, leading to a loss of blood flow through the heart.

Treatments for ventricular fibrillation include CPR and defibrillation

Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular tachycardia is a problem in which a recurring loop in the conduction pathways of the heart gives way to rapid contractions of the ventricles.

As a result, the victims blood pressure and overall blood flow will be greatly reduced due to the inability of the ventricles to fully fill with blood between contractions

Asystole

Asystole is the absolute standstill of the heart muscle

It is very important to recognize the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest. In the instance of a heart attack, immediately seek medical attention by calling 9-1-1 or getting to your local ER center. In a cardiac arrest situation, immediate action has to be taken to save the person's life in the form of an automatic external defibrillator (AED). The AED unit is a small, portable, and civilian friendly (easy to use) defibrillator that can be used in order to jump start a persons heart long enough for medical attention to arrive.
