Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States! The most common cause of death is that the heart stops beating due to heart disease!

Because of 80% of all cardiac arrests occur at home, you are most likely to perform CPR on a loved one or family member.

The earlier you give CPR to a person who is not breathing and has no pulse, the greater chance of survival.
The heart requires application of eletrical shock called DEFIBRILLATION.

Until defibrillation becomes available, one must provide artificial breathing and perform CPR.
