The Qassim Health Cluster represented
by Prince Sultan Cardiac Center Qassim and in partnership with the Saudi Red
Crescent Authority participated in the rapid intervention program for the
treatment of heart attacks. Both have joined efforts to intensify their
unlimited services in helping diagnose suspected cases outside the hospital
premises and at the same time provide health care to those who were proven to
be infected.
The management of Prince Sultan
Cardiac Center in Al-Qassim confirmed that the program was purposely aim to
reach out to places with patients who are showing symptoms of heart
attack. Afterwards, the Saudi Red Crescent Authority conducts an initial
medical evaluation and sends the result to the consultants of the center who
will then decide if the patient needs immediate treatment. If the situation
calls for it, the center will send an ambulance with a medical team that will
provide the immediate/ emergency medicines while transporting the
patient to the hospital for transfer at the cardiac catheterization
center and provide them with the necessary care and corresponding medical
service.
PSCCQ's Center Director, Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Mesned emphasized
that this program was intently launched to deal with heart attacks, which is
considered to be the most deadly and fatal disease in the Kingdom and the
whole world as well. This condition should not be taken for granted because
it will surely cause death. The clot which is simply a mass of blood gathered
inside the blood vessel will cause the blockage of the total or partial part.
This will result to cutting off or reducing the blood flowing to the organ,
thus, resulting to the partial or total damage of the said organ. Be informed that the heart is one
of the most sensitive organs. Therefore, it is best to take of our heart and
refrain from activities that may lead to its attack. More so, PSCCQ is
always behind every ailing patient and treat them in the best way possible
