The main reason to prevent the first heart attack or cardiac event (primary prevention) is to avoid the 33 to 50% chance of dying before one can get to the hospital.

The muscle that is not getting enough blood or is undergoing a heart attack can lead to the formation of a rapid ventricular chaotic electrical rhythm which can lead to sudden death.

If you should survive a heart attack, that area then becomes a scar which continues to be a focus for the production of a rapid ventricular circular rhythm. If the damage to the heart is extensive(that is an ejection fraction below 35%) an internal defibrillator has been shown to reduce the incidence of sudden death.

Avoid heart attacks, avoid initial sudden death, avoid later sudden-death, avoid defibrillators. That is the mission of CVR USA. Contact Us

The second troublesome arrhythmia associated with early and late heart attacks is atrial fibrillation. This arrhythmia is associated with damage to the atrium(upper part of the heart)from the heart attack as well as damage to the ventricle( lower main pumping chamber) of the heart. The compromised atrium and ventricles become enlarged because of high pressures within the heart contributing to the atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation causes clots to be formed in the atrium(upper chambers of the heart) which then can become dislodged and travel to the brain causing strokes and damage to other organs. Blood thinners(Coumadin) are needed to reduce the risk for stroke with atrial fibrillation.

Prevention of the first heart attack prevents all these complications. That is the mission of CVRRUSA. Contact Us
