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.
心脏性猝死（SCD）仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题。幸运的是，通过及时进行早期除颤和高质量的心肺复苏，已证明猝死受害者的生存率有所提高。不同国家为建立公众除颤项目所做的努力在降低此类事件相关死亡率方面显示出巨大益处。因此，我们需要更多的项目（如心脏保护环境）以及公共卫生政策的变革。这项工作的目的是提高公众和决策者的认识，让他们了解在我国建立此类项目的重要性，因为我国居民中与心脏性猝死相关的死亡率仍然很高。
