Every two minutes someone in the UK has a Heart Attack and half of these attacks will be fatal. Heart and circulatory disease remains the UK’s biggest killer. More than 1.4 million people suffer from angina and 275,000 people have a heart attack annually (Department of Health)

Over 150.000 people die from cardiac arrest in the UK each year. The majority might be saved if only their heart could be defibrillated within five minutes. When someone has a cardiac arrest defibrillation needs to be prompt. For every minute that passes chances of survival decrease by 14 per cent. Research shows that applying a controlled shock within five minutes of collapse provides the best possible outcome (British Heart Foundation)

An Automated External Defibrillator – with a trained operator – at the site of a sudden cardiac arrest can raise the chance of survival from 5% to 80%.
