9 out of 10 people don't survive a cardiac arrest out of hospital, but having an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) nearby can result in a survival rate of over 90%.

The Gibraltar Cardiac Association is marking a major milestone this year, its 10th anniversary, celebrating a decade of supporting heart health in the community.
