While the mortality rate for breast cancer in the U.S. has significantly declined from its peak in 1989, incidence among younger women has steadily increased each year since 2001, according to the American Cancer Society.

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.

When Debbie O’Neal was diagnosed with heart failure at 75, she feared her life was ending. She was the same age that her mother had been when she died of 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.

The Wall Street Journal invited Dr. James O’Keefe, MD, director of preventive cardiology at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute, to explain the potential risk and share tips on how you can protect your heart during the big game.

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.

According to the National Cancer Institute, about 40% of women have dense breast tissue, which makes it more difficult to find breast cancer early.

Dr. Tracy Stevens and Dr. Anna Grodzinsky joined the America's Healthcare Advocate podcast to talk about heart conditions in women.

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.

Dr. Mary Mitchell, chief of breast radiology at Saint Luke's, talks to KSHB about what dense breast tissue is and how it impacts your risk of developing breast cancer.
