R10 Heartbeat Heroes

Did you know that only 1 in 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest out of the hospital survive?

About 70% of cardiac arrests that occur outside a hospital happen at home or place of work.

Women are less likely to receive CPR from a bystander than men, and men have 23% higher odds of surviving cardiac arrest than women.

Hands-only CPR has the potential to double or triple a person's chance of survival.
