According to Dr. Sarah Samaan, “cardiac arrest can occur for many reasons. Blocked arteries, congenital heart disease, and a weakened heart muscle are three common causes. Often there are no obvious warning signs before it happens. It's important for everyone to learn basic CPR. By acting quickly, you may save a life.”
