The Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee (ECC) is responsible for directing and setting standards for care and resuscitation of patients in cardiac arrest. Our goal is a world where no one dies from cardiac arrest. Through its three subcommittees and one emphasis group, the ECC Committee reviews the science of cardiac arrest care, produces the AHA Guidelines for Emergency Cardiovascular Care and Resuscitation, and supports the development of the training programs used throughout the United States for both healthcare professionals and lay rescuers.
ECC CommitteeThe Education Science and Programs Subcommittee (ESP) disseminates and evaluates the training programs for both in and out-of-hospital resuscitation. ESP uses the latest in adult learning research and tools to ensure knowledge acquisition and retention.
