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
