Sudden Cardiac Arrest - do you know enough?
One of our local papers has one of those society columns that reports on big social events and talks about who’s been seen where, with whom and doing what. I’m not a daily reader, but I check it every now and then to see if any of my clients has been mentioned. A few weeks ago there was a report about a man who had suffered cardiac arrest while playing golf. His companions knew what to do and were able to save his life. Do you know the signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest? Would you know what to do if you or someone else started exhibiting symptoms? Do you even know what the symptoms are? They can include sudden collapse, Irregular Heartbeat and loss of consciousness. Sudden Cardiac Arrest must be treated immediately for the person to survive. It’s a good idea for all of us to know the symptoms and to understand what should be done when Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs. Check out the Sudden Cardiac Arrest website from St. Jude Medical Center to learn all about what it is, who’s at risk and what can be done to prevent or treat Sudden Cardiac Arrest. We all hope we never need such information, but if we ever do we’ll be grateful that we spent some time educating ourselves, don’t you think?
