Astria Heart Institute wants you to know that heart disease is still the number one killer of men and women in the US, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined? So what would you expect from the heart experts on Valentines day? If you said a Cardiac Expo, move to the head of the class.

We're all invited to attend the FREE Valentines Cardiac Expo and learn more about heart health. This list includes early heart attack warning signs, prevention through healthy lifestyle habits, health screenings and the services offered at the Astria Heart Institute.

Representatives from the Emergency Department, Chest Pain Center, Cath Lab, Cardiac Rehab Gym, Outpatient Therapy, Home Health, Stroke Risk and Prevention and the Astria Health Center for Cardiology will be there and local EMS providers will be teaching hands-only CPR.

Dr. James Kneller will provide education for the general public on Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib) and how ablation procedures can benefit patients suffering from the very common condition know as A-Fib.

The presentations will take place at 11 am and 1pm in the Murphy Auditorium.For more information call Shannon Hitchcock at 509-575-5282.
