Educational event promoting the awareness of heart rhythm disorders, and the importance of being heart rate and heart rhythm aware. We set up a table of many take home educational materials, and speak with people about taking their pulse. We also provide 30 second hand held EKG's that can be saved and sent to the person via email and kept for their records if desired. You do not need to be a medical professional, you are simply educating people about pulse rate and rhythm and handing flyers about the organization.
Will provide the volunteers with on the spot training and a brief overview of what they will be doing at the event. Event Preparation from 11:00 A.M. - 11:30 A.M.
The Know Your Pulse (KYP) campaign was the cornerstone of Heart Rhythm Week in 2010 and 2011. It has provided a campaigning focus for thousands of events and has led to some significant advances in awareness, policy and the management of heart rhythm disorders.
The campaign continues today, promoting the need for us all to be aware of our pulse, and for the need to include routine manual pulse checks.
