Years after suffering from cardiac arrest, Angela Perkins will attend the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk to raise health awareness.
“Start compressions as quickly as possible, and you want to do them hard and fast. We’re looking for between 100 and 120 compressions a minute,” said Dr. Navar.
Both Dr. Navar and Perkins will be at this year’s American Heart Association annual heart walk. It’s a full-circle journey for Perkins. “This will be my ninth walk to participate in. My first heart walk was actually in 2013. Just six weeks after I got out of the hospital. I’d already planned to walk before my cardiac arrest, which is pretty neat,” said Perkins.
Dr. Navar says heart disease is the number one cause of death of women and men in the United States.
