AED-Shop a national distributor of medical equipment, has a goal to help reduce the number of deaths from Sudden Cardiac Arrest by increasing public awareness and expanding the number of Automated External Defibrillators (AED ) in public and private facilities.

Over 325,000 lives will be lost this year to due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest!

This is a very shocking but true statistic. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a frequently misunderstood killer as it can affect anyone, anywhere, anytime. Yearly, this deadly condition is responsible for nearly 325,000 deaths per year, making it one of the leading causes of death among adults. 

To increase public awareness to this misunderstood killer, AED-Shop will actively participate in PAD (Public Access Defibrillation) programs, town hall meetings and community forums. In addition, AED-Shop will form educational partnerships with the foremost training experts in the industry, the American Heart Association and American Red Cross.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)?

  • SCA is a condition in which the heart stops suddenly and unexpectedly due to a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system. This malfunction causes a life threatening abnormal rhythm called an “Arrhythmia”. The most common “Arrhythmia” is “Ventricular Fibrillation”.
  • When a Ventricular Fibrillation occurs, the heart’s rhythm becomes so “chaotic” that the heart quivers and can no longer pump blood to the brain

How can SCA be treated?

  • The only way to combat this condition is with an electrical shock delivered by a small piece of medical equipment called a defibrillator. The pulse from the defibrillator actually stops the chaotic state of the heart, allowing it to reset and start beating normally.
  • Early defibrillation, especially when delivered within three minutes of a person's collapse from SCA, does provide the best chance of survival.

AED-Shop has taken a proactive approach to equipping thousands of public and private facilities with Medical Equipment Solutions such as Automatic External Defibrillators, accessories, CPR, AED, and First Aid supplies, services and training.

In addition to the private sector, we also provided to numerous public entities such as Plano ISD, Southlake/Carroll ISD, Grapevine/Colleyville ISD, Nacogdoches ISD, Tyler ISD, Harlingen ISD and Waco ISD.

We believe that these organizations chose our company as a result of our unique consultative approach and full service program implementation.

This may be shocking news to learn, but the statistics prove this fact to be true! Sudden Cardiac Arrest, SCA, is a frequently misunderstood killer as it can affect anyone, anywhere, anytime!
