Defibrillation is the only effective treatment for VF, but it must be administered within 10 minutes of onset to restore the victim's regular heart rhythm. By having a defibrillator in your home, you can be prepared for this potentially devastating event. It's easier than many people think and can give you real peace-of-mind. Lead the Well-Equipped Life When Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) strikes, the electrical system of the heart short circuits, causing the heart to quiver rather than pump in a normal rhythm. It typically results in the abnormal heart rhythm known as ventricular fibrillation (VF). It usually happens without warning and the majority of people have no previously recognized symptoms of heart disease. SCA most often happens at home. For the best chance of survival, a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Yet, less than 5% survive largely because a defibrillator does not arrive in time. Although a defibrillator will not save every person who suffers a sudden cardiac arrest, many lives could be saved if more people could be reached more quickly. Who should have a HeartStart?
