The American Heart Association and Houston Texans collaborated to provide CPR and AED training to 100 youth sports coaches in Houston, emphasizing the critical role of immediate CPR in increasing survival rates during cardiac arrest incidents. The initiative aligns with the Texans' dedication to enhancing bystander CPR and the American Heart Association's objective to double survival rates by 2030. The NFL's Smart Heart Sports Coalition also focuses on preventing fatal outcomes from cardiac arrest among high school students, promoting compression-only CPR as an effective and accessible life-saving technique.
