Abstract

AED	American Heart Association Report on the Public Access Defibrillation Conference, December 8-10, 1994	American Heart Association
During the past 20 years, morbidity and mortality rates for nearly all types of cardiovascular disease have declined. Progress in these areas is in stark contrast to that for sudden cardiac death, which continues unabated at a rate of approximately 1000 times per day in the United States, with little decline in incidence or improved outcome. Clearly, the problem of sudden cardiac death is best approached through prevention, but horizons in that area seem no more promising and in some respects less promising and substantially more costly than 2 decades ago.
