HeartStart AED event registry for suspected sudden cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study records information about people who were suspected of having a sudden heart stoppage. It may help improve how emergency responders use this specific AED (automated defibrillator).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or the person in the case) were suspected of having a circulatory arrest (sudden loss of blood flow) for any reason
- An AED called the HeartStart FRx was used
- The HeartStart FRx used HeartStart SMART PADS II electrodes
- The AED and pads were used for real emergency care, not for training
- The AED/pads must be specifically the HeartStart FRx with HeartStart SMART PADS II

This study collects real-world information about people who had a suspected cardiac arrest and where the HeartStart HS1 defibrillator was used with specific Philips pad types. It may help improve how emergency teams respond in the future.
This study collects information from adults who have been prescribed the ASSURE wearable defibrillator. The goal is to understand how the device performs in real-world patients after it is approved.
This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
This study uses your heart's electrical signals to see how well treatments prevent dangerous heart rhythms in people who are active. It is for people with or without a heart device (like an ICD or pacemaker) who exercise regularly.
This study is testing whether drones can deliver AEDs (devices that restart a stopped heart) more quickly to people having a cardiac arrest in rural areas. It looks at people whose heart stopped before emergency help arrived and who received a shock from a bystander's AED.
This study builds a registry and collection of samples to better understand families affected by sudden heart death and related heart rhythm problems that are not clearly caused by a heart attack. It may help researchers identify patterns and improve future care, and it offers a way for patients and families to contribute to research.
