About 90% of people die if they have a heart attack outside of a hospital, according to the American Heart Association. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple survival chances.

Hands-only CPR has been shown to be as effective in the first few minutes as conventional CPR for cardiac arrest. Call 911 right away, and the emergency services worker can help talk you through it while dispatching help.
