Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a critical issue. It's important to understand
that SCA is different from a heart attack; it occurs when the heart suddenly
stops beating due to an electrical malfunction.

Here are some key points to consider for raising awareness and taking preventive
measures.

Learn CPR and AED Use:

Immediate bystander intervention with CPR and an Automated External\ Defibrillator (AED)
can significantly increase survival rates. Although SCA often strikes without warning, being
aware of symptoms like sudden collapse, no pulse, and no breathing can help in quick response.

Promote Heart Health:

Regular check-ups, maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, and managing stres can reduce the risk of heart conditions that may lead to SCA.

Community Programs:

Participate in or support local programs that offer CPR and AED training. Many organizations, like the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, provide resources and training to help communities be prepared.
By spreading awareness and being prepared, we can make a significant difference in saving lives.
