AB Most  cardiac  arrests  in  the  community  setting  occur  as  a  result  of  coronary  artery  disease  and  cardiac  ischemia.Given  the  high  mortality  of  cardiac  arrest,  prevention  is  crucial.Cardiopulmonary  resuscitation  and  rapid  defibrillation  are  the  keys  to  successful  resuscitation  from  cardiac  arrest.Advanced  Cardiopulmonary  Life  Support  (ACLS)  guidelines  provide  treatment  algorithms  for  the  different  cardiac  rhythms  of  arrest.Automatic  external  defibrillators  provide  a  means  for  rapid  defibrillation  by  the  public.
