ESC Congress 2004: Where are we going with community defibrillation?
The estimated incidence of AMI in the male population is 4 per 1000 inhabitants per year. The estimated case fatality rate of an AMI is 50%. The majority of this mortality is due to sudden cardiac arrest as the result of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). view more (2004-08-31)
