Christi Eberhardt went into cardiac arrest while on a break at the children's hospital where she worked. Colleagues rushed to perform CPR and deliver shocks with an AED to restore her heartbeat. An ambulance took Christi to the nearby adult hospital, and finally, on the 13th shock, Christi's heart started beating again. But that wasn't the end of her heart story.

Twelve years later, Christi had a heart attack called a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or SCAD. As doctors prepared her for triple bypass surgery, they warned her that she might not make it. She told her loved ones - including her young daughter - goodbye.

Now 46 – 17 years after her cardiac arrest, and five years since her heart attack - "she wakes up every morning with a smile," said her husband, Greg Eberhardt. Christi loves watching her 14-year-old daughter, Emily, compete in gymnastics and cheerleading. She also started a support group for people in Northeast Ohio who've experienced cardiac arrest and volunteers with the American Heart Association.

"I'm here for a reason," Christi says. "I like to think there's many of them. I live every day to the absolute fullest."

CPR saves lives.

When Nicole Walsh heard her dog, Indiana, growl and whimper, she knew something was off. She found her husband, Ken, on the couch not breathing. He'd gone into cardiac arrest.

Ken was healthy, only 31, and had been a lifelong runner. Doctors never figured out why his heart stopped. To prevent it from happening again, he received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD, to monitor his heart rate jolt it back to a safe rhythm if needed.

When he was ready to resume running, it became his mental therapy as well as physical. A year to the day of his cardiac arrest, Ken ran his own solo half-marathon, looping through his neighborhood until he reached 13.1 miles. That run inspired him to join the American Heart Association's 2022 New York City marathon team as part of the event's charity partner program.

Way to go Ken! Here's his Story From the Heart: http://spr.ly/61883VXs8

CPR Fact

For every minute after the heart has stopped, the victim loses 10% of their chance to survive. After ten minutes of waiting for paramedics, the person’s chances for survival are already diminished.
