I didn't know, ... Did you?


Do you know basic facts about 
Sudden Cardiac Arrest?


Sudden Cardiac Arrest is NOT a Heart Attack
Sudden Cardiac Arrest takes one life every two minutes
Did you know that membership to the Sudden Cardiac Awareness Association is free?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest takes more lives than Lung Cancer, Aids or Breast Cancer
70% of people don't perform CPR on a person that is arresting
Some healthy foods that you eat CAN interact with cardiac medications
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is an "electrical" problem
30/50% would more than likely survive if CPR and AEDs were used within minutes of a SCA collapse
1 in 200,000 high school athletes in the US will die suddenly, most without any prior symptoms
African Americans are more likely to die from SCA than Caucasians
Chances are you know someone, a friend, a co-worker, a neighbor that has known someone that has been struck by Sudden Cardiac Arrest
The very FIRST thing that you do when someone collapses is call 911


And did you know that the most important thing you can do to prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest is to have your heart screened? We encourage you to call 1-800-4BAYLOR today to schedule a Living for Zachary screening for your child today!  Know your facts about Sudden Cardiac Arrest and read the Frequently Asked Question on Living for Zachary.
