More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year. In 2020, any-mention sudden cardiac arrest mortality in the US was 436,852. CPR, especially if administered immediately after cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person's chance of survival. According to 2021 US data for adult OHCA (Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests) only, survival to hospital discharge was 9.1% for all EMS-treated non-traumatic OHCA cardiac arrests.

According to the American Heart Association, about 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke each year. Quick action is vital for saving lives. We're proud to be part of HCA Healthcare — one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare services with an average door-to-needle time of 33 minutes, faster than the national standard for stroke care. Door-to-needle is the time between a patient's arrival and treatment. Have you heard of B.E. F.A.S.T.? It's a handy acronym for recognizing stroke symptoms and taking action. Watch our video for details. Help spread the word and share this post because every second counts in stroke response! HCA Healthcare and the HCA Healthcare Foundation are proud to be national sponsors of the American Heart Association's Getting to the Heart of Stroke™ — an initiative focused on delivering community and professional education on stroke risk factors, projected through the lens of equitable health for all.

Thanks to dramatic advancements in medical and surgical care over the last several decades, most children born with congenital heart defects are now living well into adulthood. Recognizing the need for adult care, congenital cardiologist Dr. Alexander Ellis established the adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) program at #CHKD in 2007. Today, more than 500 adult patients are closely followed through CHKD’s Heart Center.

Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center has once again received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke GoldPlus quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability. PBGMC also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet specific criteria that reduce the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with thrombolytic therapy. In addition, PBGMC received the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to stroke.

Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusions remain at the edge of current possibilities to revascularize patients suffering from coronary artery disease. New generations of guidewires have improved initial access substantially, lesion crossing with microcatheters and specialty balloons often remains challenging.   Dr. Emmanouil (Manos) Brilakis devoted his life to educate on CTO PCI. In his recent case experience a retrograde crossing failure of the Turnpike LP and Sapphire 1.0. As next step the Micro Rx with the smallest leading edge profile was selected which created a channel whereafter the Turnpike LP crossed.   Please use below link to view the case https://lnkd.in/egRHD3wy with the initial crossing issues starting around 4:30   Great to see that our new Micro Rx rapid exchange micro catheter is supporting the movement of the boundaries of PCI treatment possibilities. The primary purpose for the Micro Rx is guidewire support and channel creation in a complex none-CTO setting to improve procedural efficiency without the need of CHIPCTO procedural skills and devices.

Are you listening to your heart? Every 33 seconds*, one American dies from heart disease, making it the leading cause of death in the country. However, heart attacks can commonly be silent, making it hard for us to even know if we have sustained damage from the occurrence. So, how can we recognize signs that indicate that we may be suffering from a heart condition? Listen in as we talk with Dr. Kimberly Perry, National Chief Medical Officer for Valor Healthcare. We will discuss how to decode heart attack symptoms, indicate signs of a stroke, and how we can make changes to our lifestyles to help prevent heart disease. *Heart Disease Facts. (2024, May 15).
