October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the risks, symptoms, and prevention of sudden cardiac events. Sudden cardiac arrest can strike without warning, leading to death if not treated immediately, with Black and Hispanic communities facing higher rates of diagnosis and death due to disparities in access to healthcare and emergency response.
This week's featured article explains the causes of cataclysmic heart attacks, early warning signs, and strategies to reduce risk through lifestyle changes and timely medical intervention.
Make it a great week!
