THE CARDIOSTART EXPERIENCE:

#medicalmissions #cardiostartinternational #nursingexperience #nurseburnoutrecovery Wow! What a crazy, unique, challenging and rewarding experience this past week was. I truly have never experienced anything like this CardioStart mission before. I can easily say it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done career wise. We had the best team as well. So challenging but the best experience ever. I hope to join future missions with the team!

We have wonderful news to share from the Philippin

We have wonderful news to share from the Philippines! Today Florentino Gonzalez will receive a very special birthday gift from CardioStart International & Edwards LifeSciences: a chance for a new life with a healthy heart! Florentino is a 48 year old Filipino forest ranger who is a loving husband and father to 5 children. He was unable to afford his double valve replacement surgery without financial assistance.

When CardioStart board member Dr. Farkas shared the good news a few days ago, Florentino said “Your kindness and help for me will remain for the rest of my life 🙏🙏🙏” We are so excited for Florentino and his family - and sending best wishes to his surgical team today as they perform this life-saving operation!

CardioStart volunteer Dr. Bode Falase (cardiothoracic surgeon and associate professor of surgery at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital) is hosting an online fundraiser and virtual colloquium tomorrow Saturday June 10th at noon EST.

CardioStart has made the difficult decision to postpone our Brazil mission to later in 2022. This is primarily due to the local hospital being at capacity with COVID-19 patients, but is also in recognition of the updated travel recommendations from the CDC. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire country of Brazil as they continue to cope with the Omicron surge. As much as we wish to continue our training program in Macapá as soon as possible, we must do what’s best for the health of all.

February is American Heart Month! This is an important time to raise awareness on the importance of cardiac health and serve as a reminder for you and your loved ones to get an annual check up. Heart disease is the # 1 cause of death around the world, but it can be prevented by exercising, eating a healthy diet, and managing cholesterol and blood pressure. #AmericanHeartMonth #hearthealth #heartdisease #heartdiseaseawareness #healthyheartsforeveryone

CardioStart is seeking a volunteer nurse educator

CardioStart is seeking a volunteer nurse educator to virtually teach a month-long intensive course (for a few hours, once or twice a week) to help ICU nurses at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) better care for their patients after heart surgery. Although it's not required, we would love to find someone who wants to eventually volunteer on a CardioStart surgery mission to LASUTH to bring the teaching full-circle. Email info@cardiostart.org if you are interested in volunteering.

Happy Nurses Week to all the hardworking, incredib

Happy Nurses Week to all the hardworking, incredible nurses out there! Especially after this past year, this week is an excellent opportunity to give thanks (or better yet, buy lunch!) for all the special nurses in your life. Special shout-out to the nurses who have volunteered their time, resources and hard work in support of successful CardioStart missions around the world.

Today is Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day! Heart

Today is Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day! Heart valve disease involves damage to one or more of the valves, which are crucial for effectively circulating blood around the body. Some types of this disease are not serious, but other types can lead to major complications and even death. On average, one in ten people who are 75 or older have moderate to severe valve disease. Heart Month is a great time to check in with your loved ones and encourage them to get a heart checkup! ♥️ #valvediseaseday #heartvalvedisease #heartmonth #healthyheartsforeveryone

Drs. Vinicius Nina and Rachel Haickel Nina are a married couple from Brazil who have volunteered together on three different CardioStart missions. Vinicius is a cardiothoracic surgeon and Rachel is a pediatric cardiologist, making them a match made in CardioStart heaven! We hope everyone had a lovely Valentine’s Day 💝

The classic symptom everyone associates with a hea

The classic symptom everyone associates with a heart attack is sharp chest pain. But did you know that some people, including many women, do not experience chest pain at all? Women are more likely to have symptoms like back pain, indigestion and fainting, often making them think their heart attack is something else entirely. Know the symptoms and be sure take time this month to discuss heart disease with your loved ones!

February is not only Heart Month, it’s also Blac

February is not only Heart Month, it’s also Black History Month! And statistics show that Black men and women in America are at a greater risk for heart disease than any other group.

This month is an excellent reminder for everyone to review the ABCS of heart disease prevention with your loved ones:
A = Aspirin. Talk to your doctor to see if taking a low dose of aspirin is right for you.
B = Blood Pressure.
C = Cholesterol. Get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked regularly and engage in aerobic exercise and a nutritious diet to keep them at healthy levels.
S = Stop smoking.
