"AEDs could save 20,000 cardiac arrest victims a year if locations are known and public aware" 

To address the high numbers of sudden cardiac arrest deaths in the United States each year it is vital that AEDs are readily accessible and that individuals are prepared to use them. Too few AEDs are available to the public and people are often aware of how simple they are to use.
