In light of Damar Hamlin's terrifying collapse during Monday Night Football, here's a breakdown of the difference between cardiac arrest, heart attack and heart failure.
More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside a hospital in the United States each year, the AHA said.
Another emergency that can lead to cardiac arrest, commotio cordis, is a disruption of heart rhythm after a blow to the area directly over the heart at a key time during a heartbeat cycle. Combined, these elements harden into plaque, which can then rupture, causing a blood clot to form. Large clots can completely block the flow of blood through an artery.

Other possible signs include cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.What is heart failure?
