Jan. 31, 2024—A recent survey conducted by the American Heart Association (AHA) to mark its hundredth anniversary has revealed that increased awareness of the need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) positively influences a bystander's willingness to respond in a cardiac emergency situation. The study was carried out during the fall of 2023 and showed an increase from 30% in 2021 to a 35% confidence level among respondents on their ability to perform CPR when required. However, only about two-fifths of those surveyed were familiar with conventional CPR and just under one-fourth with hands-only CPR.

Earlier this summer, Dartmouth Health's in-house video team took on a project: capturing a unique patient-provider experience to promote Dartmouth Health's heart and vascular program. Our approach was a bit different: We chose to combine Super 8mm film with Canon’s C200 and C70 cameras and DZO lenses. There's a distinct charm to film, with its generous light exposure latitude, and a throwback to a time when instant playback wasn’t an option. Trusting instincts, equipment, and lighting became paramount. The anticipation of waiting for the 6k dailies was nerve-wracking given the expense of film stock and processing, but the results? Simply a joy. We integrated as much film footage as possible, occasionally emulating the Super 8 look digitally, but nothing compares to the genuine artifact. This project had several facets: it was an assignment, a venture into a bygone medium, and a learning experience. The challenges we faced, the decisions we made, and the story we brought forward gave us a lot to reflect upon. Our team's familiarity with the subject and the creative process underscored the importance of telling stories genuinely. To other organizations: Every story has its merits. It's worth exploring how best to tell them.
On a sunny day in April, Pete was busy painting the interior of a home in Chester, Vermont when he began to experience chest pain. At first he brushed it off as a slight inconvenience. As the minutes ticked by he realized he needed serious, life-saving care. Little did he know he was also going to change the life of his soon-to-be cardiologist, Dr. Eric Rothstein. This is their story. Our Heart and Vascular Center is among the best in the nation for heart attack care. Recognized as leaders in the field, our team cares for more than 800 heart attack patients annually. To learn more about their work, visit https://lnkd.in/dH7G2dxN

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi At HeartHero, we’re driven by this powerful mantra to bring life-saving solutions to where they’re needed most. Did you know that 84% of cardiac arrests happen in the home, and often, no AED is applied? This staggering statistic shows we are missing a crucial opportunity to dramatically improve survival rates. The days of relying solely on public access defibrillation are behind us. To truly make a difference in the survivability of cardiac arrest, we need AEDs where they matter most—in our homes. Cardiac arrest doesn’t have to mean cardiac death!™ The best AED is the closest AED™. Do you have one where 84% of SCA happen? HeartHero is driving that change. We are committed to creating solutions that prioritize life over profits. Join us in our mission to make homes safer and save lives. #HeartHero #CardiacArrest #AED #SaveLives #BeTheChange #LifeBeforeProfits
🔍 Research Insight In Kansas City, 84.8% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurred at home. Despite 49.1% receiving bystander CPR, no AEDs were applied, even with nearby public availability. Enhancing AED access and awareness is crucial. Link to study: https://lnkd.in/gVfMKCqc
