Study shows 70% of sudden cardiac deaths in rural Ireland occur at home
"The first study to document the prevalence of sudden cardiac death in the Republic has found that 70 per cent of SCDs in rural Ireland occur in the home. Some three-quarters of sudden deaths were due to coronary artery disease, with just 6 per cent of patients surviving long enough to be admitted to hospital" - Irishtimes.com
