Can someone please tell me what the difference is between a sinus arrest and a cardiac arrest. I recently had a pacemaker fitted after a pause of 58 seconds that was picked up on my ILP.

I found some info about this on Wikipedia Karen but will be interesting to hear from any who have experienced this as well.
