PY - 2017 T2 - Hurst's The Heart, 14e AB - Cardiac arrest is defined as the cessation of cardiac mechanical activity, as confirmed by the absence of signs of circulation. Cardiac arrest is traditionally categorized as being of cardiac or noncardiac origin. An arrest is presumed to be of cardiac origin unless it is known or likely to have been caused by trauma, submersion, drug overdose, asphyxia, exsanguination, or any other noncardiac cause as best determined by rescuers.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/06 UR - accesscardiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1161720006 ER -
