Many victims appear healthy with no known heart disease or other risk factors . Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival, but only 32% of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander . Sadly, less than 8% of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital survive.
