No, they both had cardiac arrests.
Heart attack usually means there's heart disease - something clogging up the pipes etc. Sudden cardiac arrest (in an otherwise healthy heart) is to do with the 'electrics' and it usually has a genetic cause.
Isn't it marvellous that we could be clinically dead for that amount of time and come back?
People often confuse heart attacks and cardiac arrests, but they are not the same..
