Atlanta Airport Bystander CPR Save
Survivor Story Highlight: Kristen Walenga
Kristen Walenga experienced a sudden cardiac emergency that caused her to collapse unexpectedly. Quick action from people nearby, along with prompt emergency response, ensured that CPR was started immediately while help was on the way.
That rapid intervention by her 15-year old son helped maintain blood flow during a critical moment and gave her the best possible chance of survival.
Her story is now shared through the American Heart Association as an example of why early CPR and bystander action can make the difference between life and death.
“Survival is possible because someone knew CPR and acted quickly.”
— American Heart Association Survivor Story
