Final answer:

MIs can trigger cardiac arrest, but they are not the same. Important risk factors for MIs include cardiovascular disease, age, smoking, high cholesterol levels, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, chronic kidney disease, excessive alcohol consumption, and illegal drug use. Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency where the heart stops pumping blood effectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

MIs (Myocardial Infarctions) may trigger cardiac arrest, but they are not synonymous. Cardiovascular disease, age, smoking, high LDL cholesterol levels, low HDL cholesterol levels, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, lack of physical exercise, chronic kidney disease, excessive alcohol consumption, and illegal drug use are important risk factors for MIs. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart no longer pumps blood or pumps it poorly, causing vital organs to dysfunction.
