Show it Citizen, Review, Press, Wed., Mar. 14, 1984 - Page 13 d A.F. Hospital uses new treatment weakness, andor chest pain leading to the left arm. If you are having one or more of these symptoms, you should see your physician or go to the hospital immediately. If the ambulance is needed, call 911, or the hospital, 76-600- 1 On Jan. 7, 1984, a male Jsuffering a massive heart attack Ireceived an intravenous injection of Streptokinase in an attempt to re-establish blood flow to the heart muscle and reduce the amount of heart damage caused by the attack. The procedure, completed by Dr. Charles Dahl, Dr. Dale Greenwood and Dr. Dale Tate, benefited the patient and his clinical condition stabilized - in fact, his daily progress amazed those caring for him. y The new procedure, officials say, a) may prove effective with other Inpatients with acute heart attacks. m It is, however, not a cure-al- l for ryheart attack victims, physicians Bpoint out, as whatever caused the clot in the first place will probably cause it again if not treated. Streptokinase is an enzyme which dissolves blood clots, they pointed out, thereby restoring normal circulation through a blood vessel. It has been used in the Intensive Care Unit to dissolve clots in the lungs and in leg veins. Heparin, another drug, has been used for years to prevent further clot for-mation, but it does not actually dissolve existing blood clots. The use of Streptokinase for treatment for heart attack has generally been seen in larger hospitals where it is injected directly into the blood clot in the coronary artery through a special catheter advanced directly into the appropriate coronary vessel. In order for intracoronary Streptokinase to be effective, the patient must be given the injection within three to six hours after the beginning of chest pain. In the small hospital setting where there is no special cath lab facility, in- - travenous administration of Streptokinase may be of great potential benefit to the heart attack patient. The net benefits of this practice are currently under investigation in many areas of the country. The overall results of successfully blood flow to the heart muscle reduces the degree of heart muscle injury and significantly reduces mortality. However, in order for the procedure to be effective, it was stressed, it must be done relatively soon -- - generally within the three to six hour period after the heart at-tack. The public should be aware of the signs of heart attack and report to the hospital without delay. These signs include nauseu, shakiness, clammy feeling, a general Weight management course planned for young people "Weight Management for Young People," is a new course being offered at the American Fork Hospital. The introductory lecture will be Monday, March 19, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the hospital board room. The course runs for ten consecutive Mondays and young people from 9 to 17 years of age are invited. Several successful courses in weight management for adults have been held at the hospital, officials noted, but this is the first time one has been offered specifically for young people. Deborah Sartain, MSW, and Vernita Nuttall, R.N., will teach the course. According to Mrs. Sartain, there is a particular need for such a course for the young. Eating habits and attitudes toward fitness are established at a young age. If proper habits can be modified early, a lifetime of overweight and unhappiness can be avoided. In addition, overweight young people usually lack the self confidence to effectively cope with the problem of growing up. While one part of the course will deal with the physical part of weight management, a main emphasis will be increasing self-estee- To accomplish this, skills in problem solving and inter-person-relations will be taught to class members. Due to limited enrollment, interested persons should er by calling American Fork Hospital at 756-6001- . There will be a fee for the course.
