The Importance of CPR Training:
Cardiac arrests are surprisingly common. They can happen to anyone at any time.
-
Over 325,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually.
-
88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home.
-
Many victims appear healthy with no known heart disease or other risk factors.
-
Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack.
-
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.
-
A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle is blocked. A heart attack may cause cardiac arrest.
