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.

Thank you Jalia, I've found it. I'm not seeing my cardiologist for a few more weeks and just trying to understand the correct terminology to use.
