In 2017, the number of sudden cardiac deaths in China reached 540,000, which is equivalent to one sudden cardiac death per minute, while the internal defibrillator installed only 3,000 units throughout the year. Many people think that the automatic defibrillator in the body is exclusive to the elderly, and the young people do not need it at all, but it is not. The heart is the most important organ of the human body and is equivalent to the "water pump" that maintains blood circulation in the body. Arrhythmia can make the heart unable to effectively eject blood, just like a "pump" strike, which in turn triggers sudden death. Moreover, most cardiac arrests occur outside the hospital, which has caused many people to miss valuable gold rescue time. The following are the need for an in-vivo automatic defibrillator: a. Patients who have experienced ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest;
b. persistent ventricular arrhythmia caused by acute myocardial infarction and other organic heart disease; heart failure patients with enlarged heart and ejection fraction below 35%;
c. Cardiomyopathy patients with a family history of sudden death;
d. Other circumstances that are considered by the physician to be at risk of high risk of sudden death.
If there is any of the above, it is recommended to go to the hospital's cardiology pacemaker clinic, ask the experts to evaluate, timely treatment, prevent problems before they happen.
