A cardiovascular event such as a stroke or a heart attack is a serious emergency that can only be treated by qualified medical personnel. Typically a victim of such an event will be picked up in an ambulance, where their blood pressure and oxygen supply will be stabilized. If the victim suffers from cardiac arrest, CPR or external defibrillation are used to restart the heart and circulatory system. All of the patient’s vital signs, including respiration, brain activity, and heart rate are carefully monitored to alert doctors to potential irregularities that may lead to further incidents.
Cardiovascular events are responsible for 20% of all adult deaths in the United States each year. It is difficult to put an exact number on how many lives are claimed by heart attacks and strokes because it is estimated that between 200,000 and 300,000 people hesitate before calling a doctor. A cardiovascular event is a serious medical emergency which requires immediate medical attention. A stroke or a heart attack can only be treated by professional medical personnel, and the sooner a patient is treated the better the outcome. Permanent injury, handicap and even death are the consequences of a cardiovascular event without proper medical aid.
