What is Cardiac Arrest?

"Cardiac arrest is a severe malfunction or cessation of the electrical and mechanical activity of the heart, resulting in almost instantaneous loss of consciousness and collapse."

Opportunities for Improvement

"Some high-performing communities in the United States have reported survival rates of more than 60 percent for specific types of cardiac arrest, which indicates that saving more lives is possible." ​

Educating and Engaging the Public

"Because minutes count, the public plays a crucial role in saving a life by being prepared and willing to deliver basic life support before the arrival of professional emergency responders."
