It was a beautiful day on the Eastern Shore in Maryland and David Hayes was enjoying a round of golf with his colleagues. Suddenly, the afternoon turned deadly. David was slumped over in his golf cart, passed out and in complete cardiac arrest. His survival relied both on the immediate care he received from a member of the Virginia Heart team there on the golf course and the availability of a defibrillator.
