Sending a big thank you to Del Mar Academy for hosting a weekend of basic First Aid and CPR safety training courses! Thank you to all 25 Nosara community members that came out to get certified! Safety training can save lives. I've had a lot of fun connecting with 25 freshly trained community members who are now more prepared to take quick action in the event of an emergency.

It's heart month! Looks like the president of the AHA literally picked the best place/time ever to have his first heart attack, a hotel full of the cardio tribe. A well written story of it. CPR saves lives!!! Course dates coming soon.

American Heart Association president John Warner had a heart attack at a heart meeting. This is the full story of what happened, from death to revival.

First aid and CPR skills are required parenting skills in my book! I'm always happy when new or soon-to-be parents sign up for a course. :)

A little bit of history on defibrillation. :)

First Human Defibrillation The first successful human defibrillation occurred 70 years ago in 1947. Dr. Claude Beck, a professor of surgery at Western Reserve University (later to become Case Western Reserve University), had been experimenting with an alternating current, open chest device to be app...

A great illustration of why everyone should know the signs/symptoms of a heart attack and NOT DELAY seeing medical help. This is also why I trained as a cath lab nurse to work on a specialized team at the speed of a nascar pit crew to literally stop heart attacks in progress. The mantra "time is muscle" is drilled into us b/c every minute that a coronary is blocked, the heart muscle is in danger of permanent death. That black area is dead. Coronary artery disease is the number one cause of cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is the number one cause of death and it happens in the blink of an eye. 80% of cardiac arrests happen OUTSIDE of healthcare settings. This is why I want to teach the world CPR! Learning high quality Resuscitation is the only way to give someone a chance to get treatment and stop this process.

How much exercise is too much and what are the long term effects of extreme exercise on the heart? While we've known about the dangers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes and arrhythmias in a runners heart for a long time, this has been a hot topic in cardiology research the last few years. All things in moderation. Also another great reason why ALL exercise teachers/coaches should stay current w/ CPR certifications.
