The heart has an internal electrical system that controls the rhythm of the heartbeat. Problems can cause abnormal heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. There are many types of arrhythmia. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or it can stop beating. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart develops an arrhythmia that causes it to stop beating. This is different than a heart attack, where the heart usually continues to beat but blood flow to the heart is blocked. There are many possible causes of SCA. They include coronary heart disease, physical stress, and some inherited disorders. Sometimes there is no known cause for the SCA. Without medical attention, the person will die within a few minutes. People are less likely to die if they have early defibrillation. Defibrillation sends an electric shock to restore the heart rhythm to normal. You should give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a person having SCA until defibrillation can be done. If you have

Work-life balance is unique to each of us because we each have different priorities and lives. However, two important everyday notions that are relevant to each of us lie at the heart of a good work-life balance definition. They are daily Achievement and Enjoyment, ideals that are almost deceptively simple. Achievement and enjoyment are the front and back sides of the value coin in life. One cannot exist without the other, any more than a coin can exist with simply one side. Trying to live a one-sided life explains why so many "successful" individuals are unhappy, or are not as happy as they could be.
