Though October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Awareness Month,

    SCA continues to occur 24x7x52...that's all year long!

More than 350,000 deaths occur each year as a result of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). In fact, SCA claims more lives than breast cancer, lung cancer, and AIDS. And, more than 70 percent of Americans not only underestimate the seriousness of SCA, but also believe it is a type of heart attack. But that’s like comparing apples and oranges.

SCA Awareness Month represents a critical initiative by the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) to raise awareness of SCA and to help the public become more familiar with what it is, how it affects people, and what can be done to save lives.

Remember, with SCA, time is everything!
