You're just wrong here. AEDs do nothing for a stopped heart. AEDs treat a couple of specific, common, dysrrhythmias which can be brought on by a heart attack, or by something else. Increased AED access and CPR training absolutely has had an effect on cardiac related deaths. There are a ton of studies out there showing that.
