FAQ: American Heart Association's New Cardiac Arrest Research Initiative

The American Heart Association has awarded $3.4 million in grants to establish the Cardiac Arrest Research Team (CART) Network, supporting two multidisciplinary teams led by researchers in New York and Oregon to study prediction, detection, and treatment of cardiac arrest, aiming to improve survival rates and recovery.
FAQ: American Heart Association's New Cardiac Arrest Research Initiative

The initiative aims to better understand how to predict and detect cardiac arrests, improve treatment and survival rates, and enhance recovery and quality of life for survivors and their families.

The Association is providing $3.4 million in grants for two teams of scientists to lead a new research initiative focused on scientific advances related to cardiac arrest.

The Cardiac Arrest Research Team (CART) Network is a collaboration between the American Heart Association and Heart & Stroke (Canada), bringing together US and Canadian teams to share expertise and accelerate scientific discoveries.

Joshua Lupton, M.D., M.P.H., M.Phil., an assistant professor at Oregon Health & Science University and a cardiac arrest survivor himself, leads that team.

They will investigate optimal defibrillator pad placement, use AI to analyze timing between shocks, and identify best practices for survivor support and peer connections.

The VICTORY-CART team, led by Ari Moskowitz, M.D., M.P.H., FAHA, will study vasopressor strategies to optimize recovery from cardiac arrest.

More than 600,000 cardiac arrests occur each year in the U.S., and survival rates are low both in and out of hospital settings.
