Someone in the U.S. has a heart attack every 40 seconds.

A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood that brings oxygen to your heart suddenly becomes blocked. Knowing the signs of a heart attack can save a life. If you or someone you know is experiencing these warning signs, call 911 immediately!

Congratulations to Brennan VanDyke, a second-year medical student at UAMS Northwest Regional Campus - Fayetteville! He presented research conducted at the Washington Regional Trauma Center on mountain bike injuries at the recent Southeastern Surgical Congress in Florida. The research demonstrated that despite a significant increase in bike path usage, there was little increase in injuries likely due to protective device use.

Brennan was one of the few medical students selected to deliver an oral presentation at the conference. He was mentored in part by Dr. Peter Fischer, who serves as an adjunct clinical professor of surgery for UAMS and is the medical director of the Washington Regional Trauma Center.
