We hear of it often, people suffering from sudden cardiac arrest in the prime of their lives. Often the victim is a neighbor, a teacher, or perhaps a family member. According to the American Heart Association, one person dies every 2 minutes in the United States of sudden cardiac arrest, many victims would be alive today if someone had provided immediate CPR and Defibrillation. When a life-threatening emergency occurs, a planned, practiced and efficient response is critical to ensure a positive outcome, until professional medical help arrives. This is where Start A Heart can help, many people are here today because of help from a person who was trained in CPR/AED's.
