Cardiac arrest is a silent predator that doesn’t discriminate on who and what age its 475,000 deadly victims will be each year in America. That’s one person every two minutes! An automated external defibrillator (AED) can be the determining factor between life and death when you or a loved one goes into SCA (sudden cardiac arrest)  - especially when every minute is critical in the chances of survival. As each minute passes by before the administration of an AED, the chances of survival decreases by 7 - 10%.
