In-home defibrillators offer life-saving choices

Phillips corporation has, over the last couple of years, begun selling the HartSmart Home Defibrillator. This device can be a real life saver. According to the American Red Cross more than 680 people in the United States die every day from sudden cardiac arrest. Most of these deaths come in people without previous symptoms and they are far more likely to happen at home than anywhere else.

Medical studies suggest that using a defibrillator within the first five minutes of suffering a heart attack dramatically increases the chance of survival. With the long distances and wide open spaces of Sandy Valley each neighborhood should consider getting a in-home defibrillator for their neighborhood.
