For most of human history, when a person’s heart stopped, that was considered the end.
Then, through centuries of trial and error, strange experiments, and medical breakthroughs, doctors discovered that death was not always instantaneous.
A stopped heart could sometimes be restarted, and ordinary people could be taught how to help save a life.
The result was one of the most important emergency procedures ever developed.

Since then, it has caused some of the most feared outbreaks in modern history, while also driving major advances in medicine, vaccines, and global public health.
