NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Heart attack means when the heart muscle is suddenly damaged by an adequate blood supply. Heart block means when the action potential of heart beat is not passed to the ventricles properly. Cardiac arrest means when the heart stop beating at all.
Heart failure means the state of heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body. It is sometimes called congestive heart failure because congestion of the lungs is one of the main symptoms of this disease. Heart failure is not the same as cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) or a heart attack (when the heart muscle is suddenly damaged by an inadequate blood supply).
