Educating the public about the signs of a heart attack and cardiac arrest and the importance of taking immediate action to improve survival can minimize the damage that can occur after a heart attack or cardiac arrest. Although people with heart disease are at higher risk, cardiac arrest can also occur without warning, in people who appear healthy and have no known heart disease or other risk factors. Most cases of sudden cardiac arrest occur outside of hospitals, at home or in public. We can reduce the mortality rate through awareness and bystander intervention. Life-saving techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation give you the opportunity to save a life. Save a Life is an initiative to make people aware of the early signs and symptoms of cardiac arrest so that patients can get to a hospital in time, and be trained in resuscitation if the need arises. In today's show our eminent cardiologists help us understand sudden cardiac death and the role of CPR to REVIVE and SAVE A LIFE.
