Full Circle’s kickoff to American Heart Month, features an informative and empowering conversation with Dr. Amardeep Singh, cardiologist and volunteer with the American Heart Association.

Dr. Singh works at the intersection of clinical care and community education, helping patients and the public better understand heart disease, cardiac arrest, and lifesaving interventions such as Hands-Only CPR.

This episode builds on the real-life survival story shared earlier in the show and provides the medical and public health context behind why CPR education, early action, and prevention are critical—especially for women and underserved communities.

• What happens in the body during cardiac arrest

• Why bystander intervention is essential before emergency responders arrive

• How Hands-Only CPR works and why it is effective

• Common misconceptions about heart disease and cardiac emergencies

• The role of the American Heart Association in education, prevention, and advocacy

Heart disease is the leading cause of death, yet many cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals. Immediate bystander CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival. Education and awareness—especially during American Heart Month—play a vital role in saving lives.

• Learn Hands-Only CPR through the American Heart Association

• Talk openly about heart health with your family and community

• Wear red on February 6 to support women’s heart health

• Share this episode to help spread lifesaving knowledge

This episode reinforces a simple but powerful message: informed communities save lives.
