CardiAngel for "Cardio-Protected Cities"
Intervention in the First 3 Minutes Connects to Life
The American Heart Association reports that Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA) cause more deaths than colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, car accidents, pneumonia, respiratory infections, HIV, firearms, and fires combined.
In an emergency, it typically takes 8-15 minutes for an ambulance to arrive at the scene in places like buildings, schools, hotels, and homes. Each minute of delay reduces the chance of survival by 10%. If defibrillation starts late, the patient's chance of survival drops significantly, with only 1 in 250 patients surviving if cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation begin after the first 10 minutes.
A cardio-protected city isn't just about having AEDs available. It's about creating a community vision where everyone works together to respond quickly to emergencies. With our expertise and careful placement of AEDs based on access needs, we can help build "Heart Safe Cities."
