The number of people that die from cardiac arrest each year will depend on the country in question. In the United States, 295,000 people die each heart from cardiac arrest.

What causes the greatest number of deaths each year in the US?
Tobacco, followed by alcohol. Tobacco - due to all of the lung diseases, including cancer and COPD, etc.. Alcohol - due to the the myriad number of health problems, which eventually culminate in death (including all of the traffic accidents, too).

Cardiac arrest is the same heart attract?
No, they are not the same (I have given the definitions of both below; this should help you know what each is and what is the difference between the two). Heart attack: Is caused when there is a blockage in the main arteries (coronary arteries) of the heart. Cardiac Arrest: occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. Sorry, but Cardiac Arrest does not usually occur when the heart "suddenly" stops beating. Cardiac arrest is the worst manifestation of cardiac compromise from an acute coronary event. It happens for a number of reasons, for example if a person has had extensive bleeding and there's not enough blood within the body for the heart to pump, or when the pumping action of the heart becomes ineffective. Maybe the electrical impulses have been disrupted or the heart is not responding properly to the electrical impulses and is "twitching", most commonly known as ventricular fibrillation. That's where CPR and Automated External Defibrillation come in. If cardiac arrest occurred when the heart "suddenly stopped beating" CPR and AED's would be mostly ineffective. Time is of essence. CPR needs to be started w/in 10 minutes of the fibrillation attack/cardiac arrest, or chances are it will be too late for resuscitation. Severe brain and heart damage will have occurred by that point. Cardiac arrest victims are sometimes said to have suffered "sudden death" but that means that the patient died within one hour of the onset of the signs and symptoms. In "sudden death" autopsies typically show the patient did not really have an actual cardiac arrest but usually had significant artherosclerotic heart disease
Each minute that defribillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival of a sudden cardiac arrest victim by about 40 percent?
Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of surviving cardiac arrest by 10 percent according to the red cross. http://swpa.redcross.org/index.php?pr=Cardiac_Survival
How many times do you shock someone with a defribrillator in Massachusetts?
I don't know. but on April 16, 2006 Easter Sunday I had a cardiac arrest. My wife found me and gave me a cardial thump ( but hit me in the back) over and over. She thought I was Choking. This revived me. When the ambulance arrived. I had another cardiac arrest and flat lined. The paramedic then shocked me. when i came back, after few minutes it happened again. All in All i was shocked 65 plus times that day. if not shocked each time i would have died. though each time i went out because of v-fib one shock would bring me back. but every few minutes i would go back into v-fib. I have been diagnosed with malignant sudden death arrythmias. Mark, North Carolina
What is the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle each minute?
Cardiac output
What does the cardiac muscle do between each beat?
rests
How many offices have an AED device on site?
The AED device "guides the user through the process by audible or visual prompts without requiring any discretion or judgment."1 The American Heart Association notes that at least 20,000 lives could be saved annually by prompt use of AEDs. Ultimately, with broad deployment of AEDs among trained responders, as many as 50,000 deaths due to sudden cardiac arrest could be prevented each year.
Each heart contraction begins in a small group of cardiac muscle cells called?
The sinoatrial node is the small group of cardiac muscles that initiates each heart contraction.
Each complete heart beat is called what?
cardiac cycle
Which tissue has single nucleus in each cell?
cardiac cell
How many nuclei in each cardiac muscle fiber?
1
Amount of blood leaving a ventricle each minute is the?
Cardiac output
Why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage?
Briefly describe why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage? Cardiac muscle lacks stem cells and mature cardiac muscle fibers cannot go through mitosis. This is a network of specialized cardiac muscle fibers that provide a path for each cycle of cardiac excitation to progress through the heart.
