Dynamite to Spring Day - BTS hit songs power Ohio AHA's hands-only CPR initiative online

BTS, the group made up of seven men — Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, and Jeon Jungkook — are known for their versatile songs, dancing, and the messages they share through their music. Their songs are also used in various places, whether it’s in pubs for dancing, at karaoke, or even in the gym for a good workout.

However, did you know that some of the songs from this global sensation can also be used to save lives? The American Heart Association (AHA) from Ohio, particularly on their social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), shared three BTS songs, namely "Dynamite," "Spring Day," and "Boy with Luv" ft. Halsey, that can be used for "Hands-Only CPR."

With their "Be the Beat Hands-Only CPR" programs, AHA is training the next generation of heart defenders. This program offers free resources to support the establishment and continuation of community-based Hands-Only CPR and AED training programs, ensuring that at least one member of each family is proficient in this life-saving technique.

To teach Americans how to practice Hands-Only CPR, the American Heart Association partnered with the Elevance Health Foundation. The beats per minute of every song on their "Don't Drop the Beat" playlist and Elevance Health Foundation Station fall between 100 and 120, which is the range at which compressions should be performed during CPR.
