CARDIOLOGY The crocheted toys she makes, usually animals, are her favorite creations. The transradial catheterization was good news for Tyson because she was able to get back to crocheting quickly. The even better news was that the procedure did not find additional blockages in her arteries.
“Patients return to their daily activities much faster after a transradial catheterization. They do not have to lie still for hours afterward and typically experience much less pain and bruising at the site.” - Dr. Michael Hogan, Cardiology
Indiana University Health Arnett is proud to bring the
American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Program to the Greater Lafayette Area.
Go Red For Women encourages awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and also action to save more lives. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. It challenges them to know their risk for heart disease and take action to reduce their personal risk. It also gives them the tools they need to lead a heart healthy life.
What is Go Red For Women? In 2004, the American Heart Association (AHA) faced a challenge. Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention. In fact, many even dismissed it as an “older man’s disease.” To dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women – a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health.
