CPR can save a life

In the race for survival after a heart attack, every second counts. The difference between life and death in the vast majority of cases can be measured by the time it takes to administer on-the-spot help to the casualty.

85% of victims have the potential to survive.

The chance of survival is decreased by 10% for every minute that emergency treatment is delayed.
