The American Heart Association is proud to release our first-ever Hands-Only CPR + AED video featuring a female victim.

A 2018 study published in the Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, found that 45% of men received bystander CPR compared with only 39% of women. In the study, men also had 23% higher odds of survival than women.

As a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives, the AHA is working tirelessly to inform and empower all Americans to step in during a cardiac arrest – regardless of race, background, or gender.

Four Henrico ‘angels’ save man from cardiac arrest: ‘You don’t want to walk away’ He added, "The man got cold, his stomach got tight, and his chest was hard. The only thing I knew what to do was push on his chest."
