Sudden Cardiac Arrest Myth vs. Fact

🚫 Myth: Young athletes don't experience sudden cardiac arrest.

✅ Fact: Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes and can strike seemingly healthy individuals of any age, even those with no known heart condition.

That's why preparedness matters. Having an Emergency Action Plan, ensuring AEDs are readily accessible, and training coaches, staff, athletes, and spectators in CPR can make the difference between life and death when every second counts.

Awareness and preparation save lives.
