Scientists from Monash University have made an unexpected but very valuable discovery: Taylor Swift's music can help save lives. It turned out that almost 50 of the singer's songs have a rhythm of 120 beats per minute, which is ideal for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Techcult.ru reports this.
Why is it important? The CPR rhythm must be precise: 100-120 chest compressions per minute. Taylor Swift's songs, while iconic among younger generations, may become the new metronome for CPR training, replacing outdated songs.
Previously, the Bee Gees song Stayin'Alive (1977) was used for this purpose, but it is not so popular among young people. Taylor Swift's music could make CPR training more accessible and engaging, increasing the chances of survival for heart attack survivors.
Properly performed CPR before the ambulance arrives doubles the chances of saving a life. Taylor Swift's music can be an unusual but effective tool in saving people.
