A _psychedelic_ _punk_ band you probably have never heard about.

_Cardiacs_ were an English _rock_ band formed in 1977, originally as Cardiac Arrest, led by Tim Smith. Noted for their complex, varied and intense _compositional_ style and for their eccentric, theatrical stage shows, they have been hailed as an influence by bands as diverse as Blur, Faith No More and Napalm Death.

_Cardiacs_ released eight _studio_ albums plus a number of live albums, _compilation_ albums and _singles_ between 1980 and 2007, and are best known for the 1988 minor hit single "Is This the Life?" They are also noted for _attracting_ strongly _diverse_ responses: they remained one of Britain's leading cult rock bands during their four-decade-spanning career, but also attracted virulent critical attack (including a lengthy editorial ban from the British music magazine New Musical Express). Cardiacs were placed on indefinite hiatus following the 2008 hospitalisation of Tim Smith, after a cardiopulmonary arrest which subsequently led him to develop the rare neurological disorder _dystonia_. Smith continued to receive medical _treatment_ and _rehabilitation_, before his death in July 2020.

Cardiac Arrest 

A very serious medical emergency, where the circulation of the blood stops due to your heart stopping. This lack of oxygen being pumped through vital organs such as the brain through the blood cells results in loss of consciousness.

If left too long to be treated, the person suffering caridac arrest will soon die. Immediate treatment usually results in a recovery. Such treatment includes CPR and Defibrillation.

Symptoms can include fatigue, breathlessness, fainting and a nearly undetectable pulse.

cardiac dash

Running from one airport gate to another in a nearly hopeless attempt to catch a flight. The cardiac dash is almost always done dragging along carry on baggage and is frequently performed by an overweight passenger who's only other exercise is masterbating to porn when the wife goes to bed. A successful cardiac dash ends with the passenger making the flight and not being shipped back home in a body bag.
