Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) affects nearly 400,000 people every year in the United States. Despite advances in medicine, only 9% of people will survive SCA. It doesn't have to be that way. Prompt CPR and use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can dramatically improve the chance of survival.

The vast majority of Sudden Cardiac Arrest incidents, nearly 80%, occur at home. Often, the first sign of trouble is the person collapsing. Knowing how to perform CPR can be what saves your loved one's life.
