Sudden Cardiac Death kills more people in America today than Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer and AIDS all combined. Sudden Cardiac Death is America’s number one killer. Yet Sudden Cardiac Death is preventable. With an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD,) like the one Matt received at age 18, Sudden Cardiac Death can be prevented.

Dr. Leonard Ganz, an electrophysiologist (heart rhythm specialist,) wrote a terrific section at the end of Matt’s book for people interested in learning more about Sudden Cardiac Death. That section is titled “More Information about Sudden Cardiac Death and ICD’s.” We would encourage you to look there for more information. Also, please consider visiting the American Heart Association.
