A defibrillator (AED) can save lives when a cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia (an abnormal electrical signal in the heart). The symptoms of a heart attack are chest pain or loss of consciousness. The AED restores normal heart electrical signal ... If the heart is not defibrillated within 3 minutes or less death or severe disability occurs.

Because one of the leading causes of death in the United States is cardiovascular disease, as more and more companies and employers are the installation of AED programs and AED in the work place to add to the preparation medical emergencies in their business practices and programs.

When the electrodes or pads of an AED can be operated automatically attached to the chest, the electrodes may detect heart rhythm during cardiac arrest and automatically delivers an electric shock to get your heart beating again.

Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart's electrical activity is disrupted and the heartbeat becomes dangerously fast (ventricular tachycardia) or chaotic (ventricular fibrillation). Your heart stops beating effectively and does not pump blood properly because of these irregular heartbeats
(Arrhythmia).
