For Terry Langford, going to the right facility at the right time made a lifesaving difference. 🏥

Terry was experiencing an irregular heartbeat and shortness of breath for several weeks before her symptoms ultimately led her to seek emergency care at TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital.

Thanks to fast action and the incredible teamwork between our emergency department team, Cath lab team and interventional cardiologist Dr. Roshan Mathew, life-threatening blood clots were discovered and removed just in time.

Terry is now home, healing and holding her loved ones close.

“We always choose TriStar Greenview, and we will continue to do so,” says Terry.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs. It’s easy to mistake PAD for other conditions like hip arthritis or spinal stenosis, which means often goes undiagnosed. Many people with PAD don’t experience symptoms at all. That’s why awareness of risk factors – such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking – is crucial for screening.

Understanding the early warning signs is the first step toward timely intervention and better quality of life. In most cases, lifestyle changes, exercise and medications are enough to slow the progression or even reverse the symptoms of PAD, so talk to your doctor if you think you may be at risk.

In collaboration with the American Heart Association, our larger HCA Healthcare network promotes better heart health through national education efforts and community integration.

We would love to recognize our TriStar Chaplains who were recent patients through our network of care. Their stories provide insight into the importance of staying current with calcium scoring and other tests to better understand overall heart health. (Network of care provided by TriStar Cardiovascular Surgeons Dr. V. Seenu Reddy and Dr. Jeffrey Gibson, Centennial Heart, and Tennessee Heart & Vascular.)

Just like the patients they pray over, Chaplain Willie Acevedo and Chaplain Allen Tanner had a medical scare - both needing a heart bypass surgery within one month of each other.
