Sudden cardiac arrest, one of the leading causes of death among adults, claims the lives of about a quarter of a million people each year in the United States alone.If someone you love collapses today, will a defibrillator arrive in time? Challenging Sudden Death shows how to ensure that it does, providing tips on community mobilization, funding, legal issues, defibrillator training, true stories about lives saved and much, much more.
