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.

To combat rising maternal mortality, researchers at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute and UMKC are leading a first of its kind study to create better care for moms with heart conditions during pregnancy.

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.

The four-year observational study will research U.S. pregnant people with cardiovascular disease to better understand and combat maternal mortality and morbidity.

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.

TCTMD talked to Dr. Paul Chan and Dr. Anezi Uzendu about the new study's findings.

In the past, many women born with a heart condition were told they would not be able to birth children safely.

Asian individuals with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have similar rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation as White individuals, but have lower survival rates, according to a new study.
