First aid in the event of a heart attack is very important due to the seriousness of the injury and the speed of occurrence. A heart attack refers to all cases that result in the cessation of heart function in the relaxation phase or ventricular fibrillation, where the heart muscle is unable to pump blood through the vessels, resulting in measurable arterial pressure. This often occurs when a blood clot prevents blood flow in the coronary artery, causing partial damage to the heart muscle. In some cases, it may lead to the complete cessation of heart function. There are only a few minutes to save the patient from damage to the brain's nerve cells, which are highly sensitive to hypoxia. Therefore, do not waste any time and provide the necessary first aid.
