Heart to Heart helps with answers Times -Advocate. January 23. 1985 Page 7 Where do we go from here? Heart disease and stroke kill as many Canadians each year as all other diseases combined. The annual toll is 80,000, and 2,600,000 more men, women and children are afflicted. More than half those having a first heart attack die instantly, or within the year. Others are more fortunate. They undergo major surgery to bypass clogging heart arteries before the otherwise inevitable heart attack has occurred. For survivors of either heart at- tacks or heart surgery, and for their families, the big question is "Where do we go from here?" Understanding what has happened and knowing what to expect in the future can start a pa- tient more quickly and easily on the road to recovery. Heart to Heart, a post -discharge group program for cardiac patients and their partners, can provide some of the answers. The program com- bines education and support in an eight-week series of weekly sessions. Specialists from different fields pro- vide patient and partner with infor- mation on all aspects of heart disease. They answer questions and offer practical and helpful suggestions for recuperating. • Each formal session lasts one hour and is followed by refreshments, giv- ing those attending an opportunity to talk informally with the guest speaker and others in the group. The introductory session identifies common concerns. The next week is devoted to cardiology, examining heart function and disease, the heal- ing process, risk factors and modification. Session three focuses on nutrition and'weight control implica- tions in heart disease. The effect of physical activity on the heart, and sexual activity after a heart attack are the main topics the following week. A CPR demonstra- tion and discussion of dos and don'ts in emergency situations highlights session five. Attention turns to the psychological aspects - grief, denial, anger, depres- sion and the effect of crisis on the pa- tient and family - at the next meeting. Session seven turns to methods of cop-, ing with the reducing stress. The wind-up session ties everything together to reinforce positive at- titudes and plan for an optimal lifestyle. Until now, the Heart to Heart pro- gram has been offered only in larger Rebekahs have secret pal event The January 16 meeting of the Rebekahs of I.O.O.F. was held with a good number in attendance.

The Huron County chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of On- tario is forming an ad hoc committee to find out if there is a need for this type of program in this area, and if it would have the support of local doctors. Chapter president Bruce Shaw is heading the ad hoc committee. Doc- tors he has already contacted have confirmed the fact there is a place for this follow-up program, and they are willine to cooperate in it. Shaw said that at one time many doctors felt pseudo -professionals try- ing to deal with medical problems wouldn't do patients much good. Over the years, programs like Heart to Heart have proven themselves to doc- tors and patients alike. The first meeting of the ad hoc com- mittee will be held at Huronview on January 30, begining at 7:30 p.m. Shaw wants participation from across the country, and asks anyone in- terested to contact him.
