"Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function" due to electrical disturbances, which can occur suddenly or following other symptoms, according to the American Heart Association.
It can be fatal if swift action is not taken.
"Cardiac arrest may be reversed if CPR is performed and a defibrillator shocks the heart and restores a normal heart rhythm within a few minutes," according to the American Heart Association.
