What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) & How Does an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Help?
SCA is both an ongoing health epidemic and a serial killer, claiming the lives of nearly 400,000 people every year. It occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating normally, striking people of all ages without warning-including many who otherwise appear to be healthy. Sadly, today more than 90% of out-of-hospital SCA events are fatal.
Should AEDs be Placed Outside?
Highly visible, all-weather, smart-monitored SaveHeart™ outdoor AED cabinets empower lay bystanders to act immediately in the critical minutes after a sudden cardiac arrest emergency before professional first responders arrive.
Are AEDs Protected Outside During Extreme Weather?
SaveHeart™ by HeartNation’s all weather, temperature regulated cabinet technology protects AEDs from extreme temperature and weather conditions year-round, enabling 24x7 outdoor lifesaving access outdoors for anyone to help save a life.

Which SaveHeart™ Cabinet Should We Choose?
