More Americans are dying from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) than from Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and AIDS combined. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the #1 cause of death in the USA.

• SCA claims 350,000 lives in the U.S. per year – over 950 each day – 1 life every 1.5 minutes
• SCA is extremely deadly, with a mortality rate of approximately 95%
• Two-thirds of SCA deaths occur in people having no prior indications of heart disease

While searches for effective AIDS and Cancer treatments continue, an effective treatment for SCA has been available for decades: the Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The problem is simply that AEDs are not widely available because of their high price and limited functions. Tricord Labs brings the smallest, lightest, most powerful, and most affordable AED to market to deliver the treatment for SCA where it is needed most – where we live, work, and play.

Fire extinguishers and smoke alarms are in every home to guard against fires that claim 1 life in the U.S. every 158 minutes. At 1 life lost every 1.5 minutes, SCA kills 100 times more than fires. Shouldn’t we take even more precaution for SCA?
