Podcast Description
The SaveHeart Stories podcast, hosted by Dave Fritzsche aims to shed light on the urgency to equip outdoor sporting event arenas, schools and parks with outdoor defibrillator machines in order to save lives. There are too many stories of unnecessary tragedy in sports with kids of all ages. These stories should inspire us to do something about it, so that there are no more stories to tell.

Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast emphasizes topics such as cardiac health awareness, personal survival stories, and community advocacy for AED accessibility, with episodes that explore the importance of youth heart screenings and detailed accounts from individuals who have survived sudden cardiac arrest, including how public awareness can influence health policy.
Real Life stories of lives saved, lost, and changed saved due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)- the largest cause of natural death in the United States. The SaveHeart Stories podcast sheds light on how to drastically improve SCA survival rates by placing Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) everywhere people live, work, and play, training more people in basic CPR & AED use, and promoting youth heart screenings to uncover potential heart defects in teenagers.
Every year in the U.S., out-of-hospital SCA claims the lives of 356,000 people, including more than 23,000 teenagers. SCA strikes without warning and affects people from every walk of life, regardless of age, race, gender, ethnicity, or even health profile. While Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is essential to help blood flow to vital organs after an SCA event, the only real cure for SCA is an electrical shock from an AED, which the American Heart Association recommends should happen within 3 minutes. Sadly, today, less than 10% of SCA victims survive, largely because AEDs aren’t located close enough to where people are.
There is an increasing number of stories in the media about how having an AED saved a precious life, or worse, how not having an AED nearby resulted in a tragic and unnecessary death. SaveHeart Stories should inspire us to do something about it now- individually, and together- so that our stories can change from sadness to celebration- and from tragedy to triumph.
