Heartshield Project was founded in 2020 by 2x Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivor and former Division 1 College Athlete Austin McAnena because good Samaritans performed CPR and successfully initiated the cardiac chain of survival. Heartshield was founded out of this gratitude to save more lives from Sudden Cardiac Arrest through community AED donations, bystander response training, and public awareness.
SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AWARENESS
Over 356,000 cardiac arrests occur per year with over 90% being fatal. SCA is the #1 killer of student athletes and contributes to the #2 medical cause of death under 25. When CPR and an AED are used immediately, the survival rate jumps to 64%―so training is a life-saving initiative.
HEART SCREENINGS
1 in 300 youth has an undetected heart condition that puts them at risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest. A heart screening is easy, non-invasive, painless, and can detect most all heart conditions that put someone at risk. Don't take any chances with your children or loved ones, schedule a screening today with our partners in southern California
