STARS Awareness Week - June 7-13, 2010
STARS supports Know Your Pulse Campaign 2010
In 2010, ‘Know Your Pulse’ will be the theme for our annual Arrhythmia Awareness Week (AAAW) 7th- 13th June 2010. This week long event will raise public and medical awareness of the pulse as a means of identifying potential cardiac arrhythmias. STARS is supporting Arrhythmia Alliance (A-A) in working to ensure that pulse checks become a routine procedure when someone visits their GP surgery. By making pulse checks routine procedure when someone visits their GP, more people will be diagnosed and treated for cardiac arrhythmias.
You can help to achieve this goal by supporting the ongoing 'Know Your Pulse' campaign during Arrhythmia Awareness Week.
Why should you support the Know Your Pulse campaign?
The problem…
In the
• More than 2 million people have an arrhythmia
(diagnosed and undiagnosed).
• 120,000 people experience unexplained loss of
consciousness each year.
• 100,000 sudden cardiac deaths each year; the equivalent
of 250 people per day.
• 30 per cent of adults and 39 per cent of children are
misdiagnosed with epilepsy when in fact they have a
heart rhythm disorder.
• Sudden cardiac arrest leads to more deaths worldwide
than breast cancer, lung cancer and AIDS combined.
• The pulse is the easiest way to detect an arrhythmia
We believe that your efforts, no matter how big or small, will help to raise public and medical awareness of blackouts caused by cardiac arrhythmias in the US.
