As the world comes together to watch the FIFA World Cup, we'll witness incredible displays of athleticism, endurance, and skill.
Yet, physical fitness alone does not eliminate the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
Nearly 75% of sudden cardiac arrest cases in young athletic populations occur in basketball, football, and soccer.
Preparedness makes the difference.
When immediate bystander CPR is combined with early AED use, survival rates can exceed 90%.
From professional stadiums to local playing fields, having trained responders, accessible AEDs, and confident bystanders helps create safer environments for athletes at every level.
