These songs by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift that can save lives

Music news

According to an American association, the titles “Virgo Groove” by Beyoncé and “You’re Losing Me” by Taylor Swift have the ideal rhythm to provide efficient cardiac massage.

What if pop music could resuscitate people? It seems that this hypothesis has finally seen the light of day. In fact, the American Heart Association certifies that “Virgo Groove” by Beyoncé and “You’re Losing Me” by Taylor Swift are the two perfect songs to save people. They count just enough beats to accompany the gestures to follow to perform a cardiac massage.

Beyoncé’s hit features “ 108 beats per minute: the perfect tempo for hand-held cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) », writes the American organization, on Twitter, before specifying: “ Hand CPR has only two steps. If you see a teenager or adult collapse, call for help and press hard and fast, reaching 100 to 120 beats per minute “. To help you, you will simply have to hum this Queen B song or listen to the playlist composed by the American Heart Association.

Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga… their music to help

And if the recent titles of the two American popstars provide an effective heart massage, they are not the only ones. In fact, the non-profit organization took the opportunity to create a playlist bringing together all the titles at the perfect tempo. Among the selected ones we find, “Break My Soul” by Beyoncé, “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga, “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston and “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees .

As a reminder, a cardiac massage is carried out by placing the heel of one hand on the sternum of a collapsed man, woman or adolescent. You must then place your other hand on the first and press strongly and quickly at a frequency of 100 to 120 beats per minute.
