O n the first day of his cardiology fellowship at Atlantas Emory University School of Medicine, John Frazier spoke to another man as they walked in the door. The year was 1971. That encounter would result in a 43-year friendship. That friendship would translate into a thriving medical practice and the establishment of a cardiovascular program at Washington Hospital that would make the difference in thousands of lives. Today, the practice Drs. John E. Frazier and Neil J. Hart began in 1982 as Frazier-Hart is flourishing as Washington Health System Cardiovascular Care with a professional staff of nine cardiologists and eight nurse practitioners. Both men, now in their 70s, are retiring this month. They announced their intentions to retire several years ago, giving the practice time to hire a physician and begin transferring patients to other cardiologists, said Kurt Segeleon, office manager.

She began her work at the … Continue reading →

December 5, 2014 Provided by Rachel Cagan, American College of Cardiology Study questions current international guidelines for resuscitation For patients in cardiac arrest, administering epinephrine helps to restart the heart but may increase the overall likelihood of death or debilitating brain damage, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The study offers new data in an ongoing debate over the risks and benefits of using epinephrine to treat cardiac arrest, an often-fatal condition in which the heart stops beating. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a hormone that stimulates the heart and promotes the flow of blood. Current international guidelines recommend administering 1 milligram of epinephrine every 3-5 minutes during resuscitation.
