Episode Synopsis

Every minute counts when someone’s heart stops. In the U.S., more than 350,000 people suffer cardiac arrest each year, and fewer than 10% survive. Most of these emergencies happen at home, far from lifesaving equipment. Now, for the first time in the United States, a coalition of researchers, public safety agencies, and community partners – led by Duke Health is testing a new way to save lives. Dr. Monique Starks, a cardiologist with Duke Health, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the trial program.
