Learn how you can help

[Heart & Stroke @HeartandStroke]

If you see someone suddenly collapse or if they're unresponsive and not breathing, or making strange gasping sounds, they’re in cardiac arrest. It’s a medical emergency – every second counts. Call 9-1-1 right away and follow the steps for hand-only CPR.

[KAWARTHA NORTH @knfht]

[Heart & Stroke @HeartandStroke]

Signs can vary and may be different for men and women. If you experience any of these signs, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately.
