A heart attack is a condition where the heart muscle does not get enough blood flow. This can be due to a blockage in one of the coronary arteries (the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle), and as a result, portions of the heart muscle may die.
A cardiac arrest is when the electrical system of the heart malfunctions, and as a result, the heart stops beating. This can lead to death if it's not treated immediately.
