SCA Strikes Health Club Twice in Two Months |
|
Sudden Cardiac Arrest Strikes Health Club Twice in Two Months. They say that lighting doesn’t strike twice in the same page, but a health club in Hayward, CA proved otherwise just a few weeks ago. Just six weeks after a man collapsed from SCA while exiting the sauna, another man suffers SCA at the same club. |

The Debate: Compression-Only CPR |
|
A new CPR technique has become a national topic in recent news after studies have shown a higher survival rate compared commonly-taught CPR techniques. Called compression-only CPR, this method eliminates the use of mouth-to-mouth ventilation during CPR, and instead focuses on the need for fast, deep compressions. |

The Fallacy: A Heart Attack = Sudden Cardiac Arrest |
|
The good news: Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a hot topic in media around the USA — news is spreading quickly that SCA kills more than 350,000 Americans each year; the bad news: the media doesn’t understand what SCA is. Almost daily articles are written in the media inferring (or explicitly stating) that SCA is the same as a heart attack. What‘s worse, this fallacy is perpetuated by competitors on their websites and throughout their print collateral, which makes educating the public an interesting challenge.
