Heart-Friendly Father's Day Gifts
|
|
|
|
Why not give Dad the gift of a healthy heart this Father's Day?
"One in nine men will suffer a cardiac arrest before the age of 70, compared to about one in 30 women. At age 45, men have nearly an 11 percent lifetime risk of sudden cardiac death."
Men are more likely to suffer sudden cardiac arrest due to the fact that cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer in men; by helping Dad to keep fit, reduce stress and eat healthy you can help look after his heart.
|
|
Invest in what matters most, invest in matters of the heart.
Give the gift that keeps on giving this Father's Day, a donation to Arrhythmia Alliance
can help to protect the hearts of thousands across America. Every $1 you donate goes directly toward saving lives and every $1 makes a difference.

Life Saving Devices Stolen in Bluffton, SC
|
|
Over Memorial Day weekend, two of our public access Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) were stolen from separate locations in Bluffton, South Carolina.
Every year in the United States approximately
360,000
people experience out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) and sadly
90%
of those people will sadly die as a result.

“Whoever has taken them may not realize that they are of no monetary value and yet a price cannot be put on this small piece of equipment if it saves a life.”

Patient Advisory Panel Opportunity
|
|
Would you be interested in participating in a Patient Advisory Panel?
You would have the opportunity to inform a pharmaceutical company of your journey with PSVT. Arrhythmia Alliance would grant you the opportunity to share your personal insights, ask questions, and inform the company of the resources, support and guidance that you as a patient would find valuable in your dealings with PSVT.

LIVING WITH PSVT? TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR CONDITION
|
|
|
|
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a type of arrhythmia - or irregular heart rhythm - that affects around 1.7 million Americans. PSVT causes the heart to beat too quickly - during episodes, the heart can race and jump from the normal 60 to 100 bpm, up to 250 bpm.
These episodes can start and stop without warning and can last from seconds to hours. While typically not dangerous, it’s important to properly diagnose PSVT to make sure it’s not a more serious type of arrhythmia, and to properly treat your episodes if they impact your heart health or your quality of life.
|
|
You don’t need to live in constant fear of your next PSVT episode. Take charge and talk to your healthcare professional about how you can live a normal life.
