Automated External Defibrillators: Heart Conditions That Aeds Treat By: Henry Justinson | - AEDs or automated external defibrillators are portable devices which are able to diagnose cardiac issues such as tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. After diagnosing the arrhythmia, the AED is able to treat these conditions through the process of defibrillation which is the process through which electricity is used to restart the heart, ideally allowing the heart to gain a healthy rhythm. The two conditions which are able to be treated through the automated external defibrillator are pulse ... Tags:automated external defibrillators, buy aeds
