cessation of an effective heartbeat; the heart may stop completely or undergo ventricular fibrillation
A failure of the heart to pump blood, resulting in the loss of effective circulation.
temporary or permanent stopping of the normal heart beat causing loss of circulation and possible death
A condition when the heart beats so quickly (or stops completely), that no blood is pumped out to the body.
A complete halt in the pumping action of the heart or when it quivers or 'fibrillates' instead, causing the person to collapse.
absence of systole; failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract (usually caused by ventricular fibrillation) with consequent absence of the heart beat leading to oxygen lack and eventually to death
a circulatory arrest which is caused abruptly due to the lack of normal blood circulation
a form of a heart attack only much, much worse
(also known as Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) or Sudden Cardiac Death) The sudden and life-threatening onset of chaotic and unproductive heart rhythm caused by an arrhythmia. This is not the same as a heart attack, although a heart attack can cause Cardiac Arrest.
The blood ceases to circulate and the heart stops beating.
Complete cessation of effective heart action, which progresses to death if not treated promptly.
Stoppage of the heart, usually caused by heart attack.
the abrupt, immediate stopping of the heart. Without treatment with a defibrillator, sudden cardiac death in unavoidable.
occurs when the heart does not pump enough blood to produce a pulse. If the lack of blood supply lasts for an extended time, this may cause permanent damage to the brain and heart or result in death if the patient cannot be resuscitated
the sudden stopping of the heart's pumping action.
Cessation of the heart beat. If not reestablished within a few minutes, death occurs. Cardiac Necrosis It is caused by ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart tissues) with resulting damage to the muscles and can cause death. COPD COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma and represents any prolonged or persistent condition of respiratory (breathing) dysfunction resulting in oxygenation or carbon dioxide elimination at a rate that is not sufficient to meet demands of the body; it may become severe enough to cause respiratory failure.
the stopping of heartbeat.
A condition in which the heart stops.
The sudden cessation of the heart's pumping action, possibly due to a heart attack, respiratory arrest, electrical shock, extreme cold, blood loss, drug overdose, or a severe allergic reaction.
the heart beats very fast or stops completely so that no blood is being pumped out to the body.
A medical emergency with absent or inadequate contraction of the left ventricle of the heart that immediately causes bodywide circulatory failure. The signs and symptoms include loss of consciousness; rapid shallow breathing progressing to apnea (absence of breathing); profoundly low blood pressure ( hypotension ) with no pulses that can be felt over major arteries; and no heart sounds. See the entire definition of Cardiac arrest
A death due to electrical problems in the heart. Cardiac arrest is usually caused by ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is different from a heart attack, which results from heart muscle damage from blood flow blockage, rather than an electrical problem. SCA is also known as sudden cardiac death (SCD).
Sudden, abrupt loss of heart function.
A heart attack, in which the heart suddenly stops pumping sufficient blood.
A cardiac arrest, or circulatory arrest, is the abrupt cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the heart to contract effectively during systole. Usefulness: N/A( 0 rating) by game masta () on Jul 7, 2006
stopped heart beat, usually with loss of consciousness; usually from ventricular fibrillation
Cessation of Ventricular activity. Absence of heartbeat.
when the heart stops beating, either temporarily or permanently
Cessation of ventricular activity; lack of heartbeat of peripheral pulse.
Incident during which the heart stops beating and loss of consciousness occurs because of cutoff of blood flow to the brain. It is usually the result of ventricular fibrillation, in which the heart's ventricles twitch randomly and ineffectively rather than beating in a rhythmic fashion to pump blood form the heart. A complete cessation of all heartbeats can also cause a cardiac arrest.
stopping of all heart function.
Occurs when the heart stops beating. When this happens, the blood supply to the brain is cut off and the person loses consciousness. A Person in apparent good health who experiences cardiac arrest usually has unsuspected coronary artery disease.
A sudden stop of heart function. See also "sudden death."
is a sudden stoppage of the heartbeat and breathing.
A medical situation characterized by the stopping of normal heart function. During cardiac arrest, the heart is not pumping blood to the body. If left untreated, it is dangerous and life-threatening.
The stopping of the heart beat. (See Heart Attack or Myocardial Infarction)
Cessation of the pumping activity of the heart resulting in failure of circulation of the blood throughout the body.
Occurs is when the heart stops pumping blood. This can occur in ventricular fibrillation when the ventricles are beating too erratically to effectively pump blood, or in asystole because the heart stops beating completely. Cardiac arrest victims quickly lose consciousness, their pulse disappears, and they stop breathing. Emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation is necessary.
Emergency where the Heart stops beating
Sudden cessation of heart beat.
Sudden stopping of circulation by cessation of the heartbeat.
A cardiac arrest, or circulatory arrest, is the abrupt stop of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the heart to contract effectively during systole. http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/medical/harrisons/ Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 16th Edtion, The Mc Graw-Hill Companies, ISBN 0-07-140235-7
Cardiac Arrest was a British television series made by World Productions for the BBC.
Cardiac Arrest is the debut album by the funk/R&B band Cameo. The album performed reasonably well, reaching #16 on the R&B charts and contained the hit single "Rigor Mortis".
"Cardiac Arrest" is a song by British band Madness from their third album 7. It spent 10 weeks in UK charts peaking at number 11.
