During a heart attack, blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, leading to ischemia and potential damage to the heart muscle. This disruption affects the cardiac cycle by impairing the heart's ability to contract effectively, which can reduce stroke volume and overall cardiac output. As a result, the heart may struggle to maintain adequate blood circulation, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and potential arrhythmias. If not treated promptly, this can lead to severe complications and even death.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if cardiac muscles do not contract?
You would get a heart attack otherwise known as a cardiac arrest.
What is cardiac rest?
its not cardiac rest, its cardiac ARREST. which is a heart attack.
What Cardiac arrest?
Cardiac Arrest is when there is tremendous heart failure. (Heart Attack)
What is resting cardiac output?
its not cardiac rest, its cardiac ARREST. which is a heart attack.
What is a complete cycle of a heart contraction and relaxation called?
Cardiac cycle, which is made up of atrial and ventricular systole and diastole.
What is cardiac death?
"Cardiac arrest" better known as a heart attack.
What happens during the T wave of the cardiac cycle?
During the T wave of the cardiac cycle, the ventricles of the heart repolarize, meaning they reset their electrical charge in preparation for the next heartbeat. This phase represents the relaxation and recovery of the heart muscle after contraction.
What do you call the circulation of the heart to the lungs and back to the heart?
cardiac cycle
Is cardiac arrest painful?
No, because cardiac arrest is when the heart stops; so this means if someone goes into cardiac arrest, he/she will die (unless he/she is saved by medical care/help). You probably mean heart attack. The answer to your question (presuming you mean heart attack) is: Yes. The areas that are painful include: Chest (severe pain), left arm and jaw (note: not all these areas may be in pain during a heart attack). The difference between Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest: Heart Attack: Occurs when there is a blockage in the coronary (main) arteries of the heart. Cardiac Arrest: Is when the heart stops suddenly.
What is considered a true heart attack?
Cardiac arrest
What is cardiac arrest commonly known as?
A heart attack.
Is another name for heart attack?
cardiac arrest
