From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

The American Heart Association is a nonprofit organization in the United States that fosters proper cardiac care in the effort to reduce deaths caused by cardiac arrest.

The American Heart Association publishes a standard for providing basic and advanced life support, including the standards for proper performance of CPR. The AHA is now also a provider of first aid training in addition to CPR.
