New delhi date. 03 July 2020, Friday

Bollywood's dance guru, renowned choreographer Saroj Khan has died in Mumbai due to cardiac arrest. He had been ill for the last several days. Saroj Khan was admitted to the hospital and his health also improved a bit. Saroj Khan, popularly known as Masterji in Bollywood, had been complaining of difficulty in breathing, since then his fans and admirers have been worried about his health. The Bollywood world is mourning his demise. Apart from Saroj Khan, several celebrities, including former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and actress Sridevi, have died due to cardiac arrest.

Saroj Khan, 71, was admitted to the hospital on June 20 with difficulty breathing. According to media reports, Saroj Khan had been suffering from diabetes and other ailments of old age for a long time. His health deteriorated on Thursday and he died at around 2 am.

Corona's negative was Saroj Khan

According to a report, on June 24, four days after Saroj Khan was admitted to the hospital on June 20, choreographer Kunal Kohli shared information about his health on Twitter. According to him, Saroj Khan was not infected with Korona. His report came negative in the Covid test. They showed no signs or symptoms of coronary heart disease.

Cardiac arrest was also the cause of death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and veteran Bollywood actress Sridevi before Saroj Khan. Many may be wondering if this is a cardiac arrest. Is this the same as a heart attack, or different? What is the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest?

First of all, what is cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest involves the exchange of information between the inner parts of the heart. This causes a bad effect on the heartbeat. Attempts are made to control the patient's heart rate through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). People who have had a heart attack before are more likely to have a cardiac arrest.

Sudden cardiac arrest occurs

According to the information, cardiac arrest occurs suddenly and no warning is received by the body. Electrical disturbances in the heart usually lead to impaired heart rhythm. This affects the heart's ability to 'pump' and makes it difficult for blood to reach our heart, brain or other parts of the body. In this condition the person falls unconscious in a very short time and the pulse also decreases. If left untreated, cardiac arrest can result in death within minutes.

What is a heart attack?

During a heart attack, the blood flow to some parts of the heart freezes. In case of heart attack, if the treatment is delayed, the damage to the heart and body is equally great. The symptom can be seen immediately and even after a while. The effects can last for hours or days after a heart attack. Unlike cardiac arrest, a heart attack does not cause the heart to stop suddenly.

Cardiac arrest and heart attack, both diseases are interrelated. Cardiac arrest is often more likely to occur during a heart attack and even during its recovery. However, in a heart attack the heartbeat does not stop immediately, so patients are more likely to survive a heart attack than a cardiac arrest.

Is death certain in cardiac arrest?

According to the British Heart Foundation, a problem with the electrical signal in the heart when it does not allow blood to reach the body can lead to cardiac arrest. When a person's body stops pumping blood, the brain becomes deficient in oxygen. In this situation the person becomes unconscious and has difficulty in breathing. No symptoms are already seen and the risk of dying from cardiac arrest is many times higher.
