Clear! Should Your Association Purchase a Defibrillator?

It is estimated that at least 250,000 people in the United States die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) each year. SCA occurs when the lower chambers of the heart suddenly stop beating normally and begin what is known as ventricular fibrillation, a chaotic heart rhythm or quivering heart muscle that prevents the heart from effectively pumping blood. This condition can result from an undetected heart disease, drowning, electrocution, choking or trauma.
