Nana Patekar Dies at 75 from Cardiac Arrest; Experts Explain Differences from Heart Attack
Veteran actor Nana Patekar died at 75 after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Goa residence.

Cardiac arrest leads to sudden collapse and unresponsiveness, requiring immediate CPR and emergency response. Doctors emphasize recognizing warning signs and prompt intervention to improve survival chances in such emergencies.
