Born with congenital heart disease, 41-year-old Christin Murphy has undergone three heart surgeries to repair pulmonary valves. They have been tough to get through, but Murphy says this latest one at Saint Luke’s changed her outlook.

A new study co-led by a Saint Luke's researcher found that EMS practices for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are different in predominantly Black/Hispanic areas compared to mostly white areas.

While it’s common to associate heart health with cardiologists, primary care providers play an important role in heart health by being your first line of defense and determining your risk for heart disease.

For people age 60 or older, or who have a family history of heart disease, one simple test and a matter of minutes can determine the potential risk of a future heart attack.

Dr. Adnan Chhatriwalla, interventional cardiologist at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute, talks about symptoms of heart valve disease, treatment, and keys to long-term heart health.

New research shows the sooner a lay rescuer starts CPR on a person having a cardiac arrest at home or in public, the better the chances of saving the person's life and protecting their brain function.

A new study provides evidence that even among those who receive CPR, Black or female individuals are less likely to survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest than White or male individuals.

Survival rates for Black women are far worse after bystander CPR than for white men, according to a study published this month.

USA Today talked to Dr. Paul Chan about disparities found when analyzing the effectiveness of bystander CPR for cardiac arrest.

TAVR in asymptomatic and minimally symptomatic patients is associated with a high survival rate, but relatively minor improvements, according to new research.
