The American Heart Association is a non-profit organization in the United States that fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce deaths caused by cardiac arrest.
The American Heart Association publishes a standard for providing basic and advanced life support, including standards for proper performance of CPR. The AHA is now also a provider of training for first aid, in addition to CPR.
