That's why there was a push a few years ago to renaming (also-naming?) strokes as "brain attacks" to get people to pay more attention as they are serious too. <cite>NYmasajista posted [p:909465395] in why is it ...

No. cardiac arrest is your heart stopping so to speak A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is related to lack of blood flow to the heart, which can quickly lead to death (infarction) to the myocardium as it is not being perfused and oxygenated adequately --- she's a killer queen <cite>joestarrr posted [p:909510938] in why is it ...
