According to the CDC "Heart disease is the leading cause of death for people of most ethnicities in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanics, and whites. For American Indians or Alaska Natives and Asians or Pacific Islanders, heart disease is second only to cancer. Below are the percentages of all deaths caused by heart disease in 2008, listed by ethnicity."
Research shows "every year about 735,000 Americans have a heart attack. Of these, 525,000 are a first heart attack and 210,000 happen in people who have already had a heart attack." That's 525K moments of despair and confusion that may effect someone you know and love. With advances in today's technology, most people figure learning CPR is not as necessary as it previously proposed to be. That learning this skill should be left for EMTs or other medical service providers. Believe me fam, that's not true! We as a connecting community of families need to know these life saving steps. It's just not only important for work anymore. A heart attach CAN happen at home. To anyone in your family. To your friends. To you.
