Could you perform CPR if a life depended on it? Lifesaving Hearts with CPR classes in Atlanta can give you the confidence to save a life.
Doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the first few minutes after a person collapses helps to circulate oxygen-rich blood to the brain and other vital organs.
Not enough people are comfortable with their life-saving skills. Yet bystander intervention is vital to increasing the chances of a positive outcome. Regular CPR and other basic first aid training can be the difference between life and death.

Why Learn CPR?
The stats speak for themselves:

- 2–3 times better chance of survival if effective CPR is administered during the initial minutes of cardiac arrest.
- 39%-44% of bystanders will perform CPR.
