More compressions, fewer interruptions lead to higher cardiac arrest survival “Study highlights: • Survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest patients increased when professional rescuers focused on minimizing interruptions to chest compressions during CPR. • Compression rate was increased to 50 compressions followed by two breaths. • Rescuers delayed other interventions, such as intubation and IVs, until enough compressions had been given."

Risk Factors

Dirty air, heat, cold may all trigger heart attacks “Extreme temperatures and heavy air pollution boost heart attack risk, according to a major new study. And on days when the air is extra dirty and the temperature is unusually hot or cold, the effects are likely to be particularly bad, given that temperature and pollution seem to harm the body in different ways, Dr. Krishnan Bhaskaran of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the UK, the lead author of the research, told Reuters Health.”
