Disco Science is better than no music at all at helping to deliver the required number of chest compressions to save a heart attack victim's life before he or she gets to hospital, a new study reveals. But Disco Science, which featured in the soundtrack to Guy Ritchie's film Snatch in 2000, still doesn't improve the depth of compression, leading the study's authors to suggest that it's time to give up on trying to find the best musical track to aid the procedure.
