“The iECG allows us to screen patients for atrial fibrillation in minutes, and treat people early. “The good news is that stroke is highly preventable with anticoagulant medication, such as warfarin, or the new oral anticoagulants, which can reduce the risk by 66 per cent. There are currently a large number of people with unknown AF who are at high risk of stroke, but who are not on any medication. “In addition, our research showed that about 1.4 per cent of people aged over 65 (50,000 Australians) have atrial fibrillation, but do not know it. And people with atrial fibrillation face up to a five-fold increased risk of stroke, and tend to have more severe and life-threatening strokes. “AF increases with age, affecting more than 15 per cent of people aged 85 years and over. “Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm problem and is responsible for almost one third of all strokes,” he said. Senior author, Professor Ben Freedman, said that the device was an exciting breakthrough and would greatly assist in the challenge to improve early identification of atrial fibrillation and prevention of stroke. What’s more, the test is able to be used in local pharmacies and general practitioner surgeries with a single-lead ECG taken on an iPhone with a special case. The research found the AliveCor Heart Monitor for iPhone (iECG) was a highly-effective, accurate and cost-effective way to screen patients to identify previously undiagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) and hence help prevent strokes. This museum found us.A special iPhone case and app can be used to quickly and cheaply detect heart rhythm problems and prevent strokes, according to a group of University of Sydney researchers. “We do this because this is something we need to do for our community,” Betty said. Since the founding of the museum in 2010, Monroe and his wife, Betty Sago have hosted a commemorative gathering to preserve the memory of what happened there for future generations. However, when others came to him with photographs of their friends and family members who were burned, stories of survivors, newspaper clippings and other memorabilia from the tragedy that altered the history of fire protection, it couldn’t be ignored, Monroe said. The Rhythm Night Club museum’s owner, Monroe Sago said he originally purchased the site of the fire a decade ago to build an automobile body shop. It’s just so sad to think something like that could happen.” … It makes me think about all of those people who could not get out because there was only one door and think about them being trampled to death as the fire overtook them.
“I’ve heard so many different things about it and I wanted to see it for myself.
“I wanted to learn a little bit more about the fire,” Ricky Warren said. Many members of the Natchez Fire Department and volunteer fire departments also joined the commemoration this year, some of them for the first time, including Ricky Warren and his son Chandler Warren and his friend Tony Gamberi. “Some of the fire codes we have were invented because of this fire.” “What happened here is the reason the Natchez Fire Department exists now,” Green said, adding that the department had been established a few years after the tragedy. Natchez Fire Chief Ventris Green said the original club had fatal flaws that inspired many of the fire codes that exist today.
