FAQs | Testimonials Real Hospitality Includes the Safety of Your Guests Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) — or massive heart attack — as it is sometimes known, which kills approximately 365,000 people in the U.S. alone each year, can strike anyone. Even a seemingly healthy person can suffer cardiac arrest without warning. According to the American Heart Association® (AHA), as many as 50% of SCA victims have no prior indication of heart disease — their first symptom is cardiac arrest. The only definitive treatment for SCA is a defibrillation shock — an electrical pulse through the heart — which restores a normal heart rhythm. The chance of an SCA victim's survival decreases by 10 percent for every minute that passes, so in order to be effective, defibrillation treatment must be administered within the first few minutes of SCA.
