"A study done by Oregon Health & Science University has found that sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is more prevalent in poor urban areas than in upscale communities. That is the word from Medford News (August 29) which said that sudden cardiac arrest incidents were 30-80% higher in disadvantaged areas. Examining data from February 2002 to January 2004, researchers looked at 714 SCA cases in Multnomah County, Oregon. "
