I recently published an article on AEDs – here is a quote from it, in case you are interested:

Statistics give us more and more pieces of information that are bound to worry us, to make us react and change something if we can. More and more people and in earlier and earlier stages of their life die of a heart disease. Statistics, only in the US, are extremely alarming:
- Every 30 seconds someone dies because of a heart disease;
- More than 2.500 Americans die daily because of heart diseases;
- Every 20 seconds there is a person dying from a heart attack;
- Each year 6 million people are hospitalized because of a heart disease;
- The number 1 killer is a heart disease.
Although AEDs are not a universal panacea for all heart diseases, nothing else can compete to its major feature, that of actually re-starting the heart after it has been stopped by a sudden cardiac arrest. Under these circumstances is it necessary to ask you why anyone in this world, any family, in any home would hope for having such a device in their first aid locker?

If you feel this helps, please drop by my website for additional information, such as Public Access Defibrillation PAD or additional resources on AED manufacturers such as Philips defibrillators, Zoll AEDs or Cardiac Science AEDs.

Good post Prabu. I think the age limit has become lower at least here. I’ve seen 20ish year olds, not even obese with high cholestrols and victims of a heart attack.

Useful Info. One of the reasons for the Heart Disease is the consumption of oil with Trans fatty Acids, which are worser than Saturated Fat . Dont know , why Olive is not grown in India , whose oil is one of the Best for Consumption. ( May be Weather factors?) Modern Researches show that Consumption of Onion and Garlic lowers the Heart Attack risk.
