"Cardiac arrest might happen anywhere, might happen workplace and homes and schools, colleges. To be able to know how to do effective and good CPR, if you want to help, I think you are essentially maximizing the chances of a person surviving cardiac arrest If you're able to perform CPR to know how to perform it," said Dr. Farid Khan, Cardiology Fellow at UHS Heart and Vascular Institute.
