Nana Patekar Dies at 75 from Cardiac Arrest; Experts Explain Condition
Veteran actor Nana Patekar died at age 75 due to cardiac arrest at his Goa residence. Medical experts clarify that cardiac arrest, a sudden electrical malfunction causing the heart to stop pumping blood, differs from a heart attack, which involves blocked blood flow to the heart muscle. Cardiac arrest is always life-threatening and requires immediate CPR. Reports indicate Patekar was found unconscious and declared dead after about 45 minutes of resuscitation efforts. The exact cause of death awaits official confirmation.
