Cardiac arrest vs. heart attack.
⚡️Cardiac arrest is an "electrical" problem: the heart goes into an erratic rhythm, cannot pump blood and stops beating entirely.
💧A heart attack is a "plumbing" problem: the heart’s blood flow is slowed/ blocked, but keeps beating.

“Women must continue to look out for each other and support each other. I hope all women can get the care they need when it comes to their heart and brain health.” @Deborah_Cox shares her connection to heart disease and stroke and the need to #BeatHealthInequity.
Nearly 40% of people in Canada do not realize that heart disease and stroke are the leading cause of premature death in women. The results are heartbreaking. We must raise awareness and close the research gap.
This #HeartMonth, learn how we're working to #BeatHealthInequity.
"It’s hard to believe, when you are so weak, that you will ever get strong again." Maciej Toporowicz was left with a damaged heart after a rheumatic fever. He needed open heart surgery in his 20s and had a second surgery in his 50s.
