Who should have a HeartStart? Anyone who wants a safer home.

Consider the other types of emergencies for which you already prepare:

- You buy life insurance and long-term disability insurance.
- You install smoke detectors and hang fire extinguishers.
- You wear seatbelts in your car.

These are all examples of precautionary steps you take in order to protect yourself and your family from the unexpected. While you can't predict when an emergency will occur, having the right equipment on hand can help save a life.

The Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator is designed to treat one of the nation's leading killers - sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). When SCA strikes, the electrical system of the heart short circuits. Shocking the heart into a normal rhythm is called defibrillation and is the only way to effectively treat the most common form of SCA.

Will you be prepared when sudden cardiac arrest strikes?

Know the facts.
Fact: Each year, approximately 340,000 people in the U.S. - nearly 1,000 people each day - die from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

Fact: Nearly 80% of all sudden cardiac arrests happen in the home. A majority of the time, someone is in the home who could potentially help. That someone could be you.

Fact: The risk of sudden death is highest soon after a heart attack, yet SCA is often the first sign of heart disease. In fact, 50% of males and 64% of females who experience SCA report no prior symptoms of heart disease.

Fact: With every minute that passes without a shock to the heart, an SCA victim's chance of survival decreases by 7-10%. After 10 minutes, very few SCA victims survive.

Fact: CPR can buy time for someone in cardiac arrest, but alone it will not save a life. Early defibrillation is widely regarded as the single, most important step in the Chain of Survival.

Early Defibrillation Helps Save Lives.

In the case of sudden cardiac arrest, minutes count. For the best chance of survival, a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, fewer than 1 in 20 victims of SCA survive, largely because a defibrillator doesn’t arrive in time. While a defibrillator won't save every victim, many more lives could be saved if more people were reached more quickly.
