Over 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside a hospital each year in the US, with survival rates of less than 12 percent. Believe it or not, only half of Americans can be counted on to perform Hands-Only CPR in an emergency, according to an AHA Hands-Only CPR study. This month, spend one important minute preparing for those emergency situations by learning Hands-Only CPR.

Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences (BCVS)
The American Heart Association (AHA) created the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences (BCVS) in 1999 to promote research and education. Our goal is to improve understanding of mechanisms of basic cardiovascular regulation to support the development of new therapies and insights into clinical cardiovascular disease. Special emphasis is placed on integrating molecular/cellular and physiological approaches to address problems relating to functional genomics, cell signaling, myocardial biology, circulatory physiology, pathophysiology and peripheral vascular disease.
