URZUA-GONZALEZ, Agustín R.; RIVERA-CHAVEZ, Manuel J.; ZAPIEN-VILLEGAS, Reynaldo y HUARACHA-LOPEZ, Pedro A.. Cardio protected areas in Mexico. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.90, n.2, pp.190-198. Epub 23-Oct-2020. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.24875/acme.m20000122.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a major public health problem. Fortunately, with timely access to early defibrillation and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, an improvement in survival of victims of sudden death has been demonstrated. Efforts made in different countries to create programs for access to public defibrillation have shown great benefits in counteracting mortality associated with this type of event. Hence, we need more programs (such as cardio protected environments) and changes in public health policies. The objective of this work is to raise awareness among the population and decision makers, of importance establishing this type of programs in our country since there continues to be high mortality associated with SCD in our countrymen.
