WHY: The statistics are bleak. Only 1 in 20 people know CPR, yet cardiovascular disease is the top killer in the country claiming 2,400 lives each day. About 95% of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before they reach the hospital. Brain death starts to occur within four to six minutes. Bystander CPR helps maintain vital blood flow to the brain until defibrillation can be administered.
