Mumbai: Noted TV actor Sidharth Shukla has passed away due to a heart attack. Meanwhile, several reports say that he died of cardiac arrest. People generally consider cardiac arrest and heart attack to be the same, but these two are different. Many celebs have died of cardiac arrest or heart attack before.

Dr. Manoj Kumar, a director and heart disease specialist at Max Hospital, says, "The arteries that supply blood to the heart are three. One is on the right and two are on the left side. In those arteries, if the blood clot accumulates and the blood supply to the muscles stops, it is called a heart attack. Its closure completely stops the work of the heart and the death that occurs in the first hour is caused by arrhythmia and the highest number of deaths are due to this. It requires primary angioplasty.''

Dr. Kumar explains about cardiac arrest, 'It is caused by a heart attack. Cardiac arrest can occur even if the heart rate slows down. Even if the heart rate slows down, there is a risk of it. A heart attack is the only cause of a cardiac attack. A heart attack occurs when a massive or an entry stops.'' Tell you that as a result of cardiac arrest, the exchange of information between the inside of the heart goes awry. This has a bad effect on the heartbeat. According to heart.org, cardiac arrest occurs suddenly. There is no warning from the body. Generally, electrical disturbances in the heart impair the coordination of the heartbeat. Cardiac arrest causes death within minutes if proper supportive treatment is not available at the right time.
