If a cardiac arrest happened to your loved one or a close friend, would you know how to perform life-saving CPR, which can double a victim’s chance of survival? Surprisingly, the vast majority of Americans don't. That’s why the American Heart Association, in collaboration with Laerdal has developed the CPR Anytime™ for Family and Friends Personal Learning Program, bringing CPR training into the homes of families everywhere.

Each year, cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac arrest claim the lives of 335,000 Americans before they reach a hospital.

Almost 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and are witnessed by a family member. Currently the survival rate of cardiac arrest victims is less than 5 percent.

CPR can double a victim's chance of survival by maintaining vital blood flow to the heart and brain until more advanced care can be given.
