Over 270,000 people suffer
a heart attack every year in the U.K. Unfortunately
30% will not make it to hospital alive. The
majority might have been saved had their heart
been defibrillated in the first five minutes
of their cardiac arrest. An AED unit with a
trained operator at the site of a sudden cardiac
arrest can raise the chance of survival from
0% to 80%
