❤️🌍 World Heart Day | September 29

Cardiovascular disease is the world’s #1 killer, claiming more than 20 million lives each year. World Heart Day is more than a day of awareness—it’s a call to action for healthier living, stronger communities, and better emergency preparedness.

At ACLS Academy, our mission goes beyond the classroom. From equipping volunteer responders on Block Island, to training school nurses in Hanover, to supporting future clinicians at MCPHS, we’re committed to making lifesaving skills accessible everywhere. Because when seconds matter, preparedness saves lives.

On this World Heart Day, remember:
💡 Protect your own heart with small daily choices.
💡 Learn CPR—anyone can be a lifesaver.
💡 Advocate for training in your school, workplace, or community.

Together, we can build stronger, safer communities—one heartbeat at a time.

Turning Bystanders into Lifesavers ⚡

When NFL player Damar Hamlin collapsed in 2023, CPR in those first 10 seconds saved his life and sparked the AHA’s Nation of Lifesavers movement.

Now, Major League Baseball is stepping up. At the 2025 All-Star Game, fans learned Hands-Only CPR in just 90 seconds: call 911, push hard and fast. No mouth-to-mouth. No hesitation. Just action.

Why it matters: over 350,000 Americans suffer cardiac arrest outside hospitals each year, yet fewer than 40% receive CPR from a bystander. Hands-Only CPR can double survival rates.
Every trained fan, student, and parent builds a stronger Nation of Lifesavers. Sports bring us together—now CPR training makes us stronger together.

❤️ Be the difference when every second counts.

It’s time to get those cholesterol levels checked! September is National Cholesterol Education Month, a reminder that cholesterol is essential for your body but too much can silently put you at risk for heart disease and stroke.

LDL, often called “bad” cholesterol, builds plaque in the arteries when levels are too high. HDL, or “good” cholesterol, helps clear it out of your system. Triglycerides, a type of fat, add to the risk when they run high. Knowing your numbers and finding the right balance can make all the difference for your heart health.

The good news? A simple blood test called a lipid panel can give you the answers you need. Pairing those results with smart choices, like eating fiber-rich foods such as apples, antioxidant-packed foods like blueberries, and omega-3 rich foods like salmon, helps keep cholesterol in check and your heart strong.

❤️ This month, take charge of your health. Talk to your provider, get tested, and make the changes today that your future heart will thank you for.

💭 Should YOU be an AHA Instructor? Ask yourself these questions ⬇️
👉Do you stay calm in chaos?
👉Do you love explaining things to others?
👉Do you highlight new guidelines instead of skimming them?
👉Do you naturally take the lead during simulations?
If you’re nodding “yes,” you might be Instructor material 🙌

At ACLS Academy, we’ll help you take the leap: from Instructor Essentials training → alignment with an AHA Training Center → mentorship and support → your Instructor card in hand.

Don’t just save lives, teach others how to save them, too.

AFib isn’t just a “fast heartbeat.” It’s the most common arrhythmia and can raise your stroke risk by 5×—often without warning.

⚠️ Red flags include fluttering or quivering heartbeats, an irregular or racing rhythm, skipped beats, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, or chest discomfort.

This AFib Awareness Month, we’re reminding every clinician and first responder: early recognition saves lives.

At ACLS Academy, you’ll learn how to spot AFib on an ECG with confidence, know when to choose rate vs. rhythm control, manage with the right medications, and recognize when it’s time for cardioversion.

❤️ Every beat matters, make sure you don’t miss one.

Medical professionals—are you ready? Stay sharp on the signs of heat-induced cardiac stress and review life-saving emergency protocols. Training in BLS, ACLS, and First Aid can make the difference when minutes matter.

Depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic stress don’t just affect mental well-being—they’re independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

📊 People with depression are up to 2x more likely to develop heart disease.
💥 Chronic stress can elevate blood pressure, trigger inflammation, and worsen cardiac outcomes.
🔄 And it’s a two-way street—heart disease often leads to new or worsening mood disorders.
Healthcare providers: are you screening for this critical connection?

Build your skills with ACLS, BLS, and First Aid training to respond to both physical and emotional emergencies with confidence.

Train with ACLS Academy—because treating the heart starts with listening to the whole patient.
