Stanley Malamed, DDS is a professor of anesthesia and medicine at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California.

Approximately 1,200 persons die each day in the United States from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) that occurs outside a hospital. Approximately 70% of these SCAs occur in the victim’s home. Since the introduction of the automated external defibrillator (AED), survival rates from out-of-hospital SCAs have significantly increased. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and knowing how to manage AMI and SCA will be stressed, along with the need for every doctor to give very serious consideration to purchasing this potentially lifesaving device.

Learning Objectives: 

• List the signs and symptoms associated with ischemic heart disease
• Discuss the emergency management of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac arrest
• Describe the use of the AED
