According to Wikipedia, AED is Automated External Defibrillator which is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias; the heart beating too slow or too fast. AED is also able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.

My dad has heart problem; sometime his heart beats too slow and irregular but not to the extend that he needs a Philips AED and I hope he does not need to have one as long as he lives.
