November 12th is Cardiac Arrhythmia and Sudden Death Prevention
November 12th is Cardiac Arrhythmia and Sudden Death Prevention Day in Brazil. This date aims to raise awareness about the importance of preventing cardiac arrhythmias and sudden deaths associated with these conditions. The date was established in 2013 by the Brazilian Society of Cardiac Arrhythmias (SOBRAC), in collaboration with other health institutions, to promote education about cardiac arrhythmias, which are heart rhythm disorders that can lead to serious complications, including sudden death. The choice of the day seeks to emphasize the need for early diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Cardiac arrhythmias can affect people of all ages, and sudden death is one of the main causes of death in apparently healthy people. Awareness about these conditions is essential.
