HeartStart Home Defibrillator

Jun 15, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

DefibrillatorWhen 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 know as ventricular fibrillation (VF). It usually happens without warning and the majority of people have no previously recognized symptoms of heart disease. And it most often happens at home. For the best chance of survival from SCA caused by VF, a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Yet, less than 1 in 20 people survive largely because a defibrillator does not arrive in time.

Just as seat belts or airbags do not save every life in a traffic accident, a defibrillator will not save every person who suffers a sudden cardiac arrest. Yet many lives could be saved if more people could be reached more quickly. [Read more…] about HeartStart Home Defibrillator

Cyclists who drank large amounts of caffeine (five to six strong coffee cups worth!) along with carbohydrate had 66% more glycogen in their muscles four hours after biking until exhausted, compared to when they consumed carbohydrate alone.
