I didn't want to bring this up in the RIP thread about Ugo Ehiogu because it is not really the right place. However I have noticed recently that the media use cardiac arrest and heart attack as one and the same cause of death. They did it for Carrie Fisher as well. The thing is they are not the same thing at all as any one with the most simplistic medical knowledge knows. A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest but the causes of each are different. In the simplest terms a heart attack is a circulation problem and cardiac arrest is an electrical problem. It may seem a petty thing but its just one of those things that annoys me.
