Holiday time

The summer holidays are beginning, especially for children it is a time of freedom, carefree, rest and relaxation. Nevertheless, it is also a time of many risks. Severe heat, physical exertion, sudden stress or temperature shock after contact with cold water can cause cardiac arrest.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a sudden condition in which the blood circulation stops. This is followed by respiratory arrest, and the result is irreversible brain damage. The correct course of action after the diagnosis of HF is to immediately begin the resuscitation process.
