Thriving after participating in women's cardiac prevention program at Beaumont

Heart disease, which can cause heart attack, stroke, heart failure and other complications, is the No. 1 cause of death globally, according to the World Health Organization.

W.E.L.L. is a free prevention program for women at risk for developing heart disease. The program was created in 2010 as a collaboration between the Ministrelli Women’s Heart Center and the Preventative Cardiology and Rehabilitation department at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak with a generous philanthropic donation.
 

Preventing permanent heart attack damage

Over the past two decades, cardiologists have explored many different treatments to help prevent permanent heart damage after a heart attack. One treatment that appears to be very promising is supersaturated oxygen – a therapy based on the known benefits of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in patients with burns and wounds.

Developed right here in Detroit, SSO2 Therapy is the equivalent of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for the heart. Beaumont has been one of the few centers in the U.S. pioneering SSO2 Therapy and is now leading a new clinical research study involving four sites to test the effectiveness of this novel treatment.
 

Beaumont opens high-tech, hybrid center for cardiovascular interventions and training

The Suzanne & Herbert Tyner Center for Cardiovascular Interventions at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak includes a 1,600-square-foot, high-tech, “hybrid” operating room/catheterization suite for leading edge cardiovascular procedures blending catheter-based procedures with minimally invasive surgery for treating structural heart disease.

“The generous gift from Suzanne and Herb Tyner will enable Beaumont to maintain its position as a leader in cardiovascular medicine. This new state-of-the-art facility will provide the most innovative cardiac treatment with the least invasive approach,” says Marc Sakwa, M.D., Heart and Vascular Center of Excellence chair, Beaumont Health System.
