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 — with
a trained operator — at the site of a
sudden cardiac arrest can raise the chance
of survival from 0% to 80%.
