PROGRAM:

Maureen O’Connor from San Diego Heartbeat

Maureen is with San Diego Fire Rescue and teaches CPR and other lifesaving procedures.

SDFR has saved thousands of lives including 5 children with Cardiac Arrest (CA).  The difference between a heart attack and CA is that anyone in CA (sudden death) must have immediate assistance to survive and a heart attack is typically a precursor to CA if the warning signs are not heeded, i.e., most CAs are the result of heart attack symptoms left un-cared for.

The heart is about the size of your fist, and it is the hearts’ job to pull and push blood, like a pump.

Cardiac Arrest is Ventricular Fibrillation and is an electrical system problem whereas a heart attack is a plumbing problem.  A heart attack is signaled by deep chest pressure, shortness of breath, upper back, neck, arm & jaw pain, and ashen appearance.
