You cant.
But you can look at statistics.
According to cpr.heart.org almost 90% of people who suffer a heart attack outside of a hospital setting will die.
By administering high quality cpr within the first minutes of a M.I. you can increase the patients survival rate 2 to 3 times.
Some local numbers I've seen suggest that almost 75% of the time the patient is able to return to spontaneous circulation.
For every minute that passes after the onset of a M.I. your chance of survival decreases by 10%
Bottom line......
Everyone should learn CPR.
