Heart Restarted

Heart Restarted is practical help for the weeks and years after you come home from a cardiac arrest or ECMO, built by a survivor who has been there. Use the tools from day one, keep using them as the months turn into years, and meet people who understand when you are ready.

Heart Restarted is built to stay useful in year one, year two and beyond. Heart Restarted is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Always follow your care team's guidance. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the US, or call your local emergency number.
