Cardiac Arrest

  • Cardiac arrest, or Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), is the sudden, abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have diagnosed heart disease.

  • Cardiovascular disease claims more women’s lives than all other forms of cancer combined.

  • 64% of women who had cardiac arrest had no warning symptoms or signs.

  • Recent studies have shown that heart disease is largely preventable.

  • Risk factor modification can significantly reduce the likelihood of cardiovascular disease.
