American Heart AssociationJan 29 2025 When someone's heart stops pumping, early CPR can save their life. New survey research from the American Heart Association reveals more Americans are prepared to provide that lifesaving rhythm for their friends, family and community.
Today, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals in the United States annually. Nearly three out of four of those cardiac arrests happen in homes. Tragically, 90% of the time, these incidents prove fatal.
Our strategy is working. This increase in confidence to perform CPR is confirmation and represents not only the success in our awareness and education efforts, but more importantly, the additional lives saved when someone with training responds in an emergency. Cardiac arrest can affect anyone, regardless of age or health - even the youngest among us are not immune. Be ready when it matters most." Each year, more than 23,000 children experience this life-threatening event.
