LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Knowledge is vital when it comes to combating fatal diseases like heart disease.
Knowledge is key when you are fighting something that could be deadly as heart disease. That is why The Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center and Lima Memorial Health System teamed up again to put on the Heart Summit. The event provides physicians, nurses, and allied professionals with the cutting-edge information regarding the current management and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Presenters talked about diet, heart failure, and valve replacement procedures and as the treatment of heart disease constantly get updated, medical professionals are getting the latest in the best practices their colleagues are seeing.
“Really in the last 5 years the cutting-edge technology and the cutting-edge research shows a different approach 5 years ago to now,” says Dr. Mahmoud Houmsse, Professor of Medicine, OSU Wexner Medical Center. “Like atrial fibrillation, that we mention today, through controlled strategies it is essential to be implemented, which is contrary to 20 years ago, saying that you don’t have to do that. But we noticed that people live longer, survive better, and have quality of life.”
