The first and often only symptom of a sudden cardiac arrest is when someone faints. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly due to a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system. The cause of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a life-threatening abnormal rhythm.
An AED is an Automatic External Defibrillator, a life-saving device that can be used by anyone – even children. This device is fully portable and works by giving the heart an electrical charge to help establish a regular heart rhythm. There is no need to worry about harming anyone – an AED will ONLY deliver a shock if and when it is required. 🔗To learn more about AEDs: heartrhythmalliance.org/aa/...
