The Gregorich family had

always maintained good

health. In fact, when they were

growing up, Geoff and Lynn

Gregorichs kids hardly missed

a day of school. Outside of

regular checkups, the Bothell

family was fortunate to avoid

accidents or injuries that

required a trip to the hospital.

I hadnt so much as seen the inside of a hospital in many years,

Geoff Gregorich says. But when he visited his primary care provider for his

annual physical exam in June 2012, the seemingly healthy 62-year-old was

launched down a path of life-altering health events that would change his

perspective entirely.

That physical probably saved my life, Gregorich recalls.

It was near the end of the routine exam when Gregorichs primary care pro

Dr. Doug Portelance of EvergreenHealth Internal Medicine + Primary Care,

listened to Gregorichs heart and detected a faint arrhythmia.

It sounded to me like atrial fibrillation, which can be fairly common,

Dr. Portelance says of Gregorichs slightly irregular heartbeat. An in-office

electrocardiogram (EKG), which can measure the heart s electrical activity,

confirmed his suspicions.

But there was something unusual about Gregorichs presentation. He didn

have any of the common risk factors for atrial fibrillation, so Dr. Portelance

referred him to EvergreenHealth Heart & Vascular Care for additional tests

Coordinated CareBothell resident Geoff Gregorich was diagnosed with a

rare heart tumor after a routine visit to his primary care

provider revealed a slightly irregular heartbeat. In just a

weeks time, Gregorichs doctors, including primary care

provider Dr. Doug Portelance, cardiologist Dr. William

Getchell and cardiac surgeon Dr. Gautam Velamoor,

worked swiftly and seamlessly to diagnose and remove

the threatening mass, ultimately saving Gregorichs life.

PICTURED AT LEFT: DR. DOUG PORTELANCE AND GEOFF GREGORICH

Within a few days, Gregorich was on EvergreenHealths

Kirkland campus undergoing a complete workup of

diagnostic imaging tests that would help specialistspinpoint the cause of his abnormal heart activity.

Thats when an echocardiogram detected what no

one expected.

The echo tests ultrasound images revealed a tumor in

the left ventricle of Gregorichs heart that was restricting

80 percent of his hearts blood flow. Dr. William Getchell,

a cardiologist by specialty and medical director of

invasive cardiology at EvergreenHealth Heart & Vascular

Care, diagnosed Gregorich with an atrial myxoma

a rare but extremely dangerous tumor within the

heart. Though itself benign, the tumors placement

can leave patients at high risk for a debilitating stroke

or even death.

Any time blood flow is obstructed, its a serious

condition. Equally concerning is that myxomas can

accumulate blood clots and spit small pieces of the

clots off, causing a stroke. Fixing the condition is an

urgent situation, Dr. Getchell explains.

That evening, while the clinic was closing for the day,

Dr. Getchell shared the diagnosis with Gregorich and

immediately began making phone calls that would set

Gregorichs expedited care plan in motion.

I remember Dr. Getchell telling me that the good news

was that my heart was in great shape, but the bad news

was that Id be having open-heart surgery the next day,

Gregorich says.

When patients trust us with their care, we take care

of everything, Dr. Getchell says of EvergreenHealths

comprehensive and coordinated approach to heart

care. And our relationship with Virginia Mason makes

it a seamless process for patients to receive complete

care. Once they are in our care, they can rest assured that

theyre not going to navigate the system a lone.

Barely a week after h is lifesaving physical with

Dr. Portelance, Gregorich was scheduled for open-heart

surgery at Virginia Mason, where a cardiac surgery team

led by Dr. Gautam Velamoor successfully removed

the tumor.

Although everything happened so quickly, I never felt

for one second that there was any doubt about the

care process. At each step, my doctors anticipated

every possibility and truly provided world-class care,

Gregorich says, looking back on his journey. I really

believe they saved my life.

Despite beginning with engine troubles and

ending with a hospital s tay, June 30, 2013, was

one of the luckiest days of Tim Nugents life.

With one day left before the start of crab season, the

57-year-old Seattle resident was getting his boat readyfor a three-day solo fishing trip, but things werent

going as planned. Instead of heading out on the water,

Nugent found himself laboring under the hot summer

sun, trying to deal with the engine problems that were

delaying his a dventure.

Then the unimaginable happened.

After piddling around outside, trying to figure out why

the engine wasnt running, he came into the house and

told me he had a pain in the middle of his back, says

Laura Nugent, Tims wife. He couldnt figure out if hed

pulled a muscle trying to lift heavy crab pots into the

boat or something like that, but he tried to lay down

with an ice pack and nothing helped.

Moments later, Laura heard Tim call her name from

the living room.

Ive never heard him call me in that tone, in that way,

so I grabbed my phone and went running to him, she

remembers. Im calling his name and shouting, Are you

OK? and I see his eyes are rolled back in his head, histongue is hanging out and he isnt breathing.

Tim had suffered a heart attackand Laura

knew exactly what to do next. Although

she was in a terrifying scenario, the

45-year-old CPR and first aid instructor

kept her cool and called 911. Then

she relied on the lifesaving skills she

currently teaches bus drivers as part of

her job with the Northshore School

District.

For the next eight minutes, Laura and the 911 operat

counted together as Laura performed hands-only C

on her husband. She continued chest compressions

until paramedics arrived on the scene and took Tim

EvergreenHealth.

The EvergreenHealth team was ready for Tim

before he even got out of the ambulance, says

Laura. There were people ready to take me to se

him and tell me what was going on. There were

wonderful nurses there to reassure me.

And there were cardiac experts Dr. Christopher Price

Dr. William Getchell to care for Tim, who promptly

recovered following the placement of two stents in

arteries. But the key to Tims health was his wifes

preparedness and quick thinking.

Without CPR to keep Tims blood flowing, he could h

suffered permanent brain injuries or heart damage

Laura did a great job, and I am very fortunate to be a

says Tim, who made it through the life-threatening

experience with just a few sore ribs. It happened so

quickly, and there was no warning. Thats why peopl

really need to know CPR.

WOMEN & HEAMEN & HEART DISEASE

WINTER

While heart disease continues to be the

leading cause of death among women,

beating out all cancers combined, studies

show that few women see it as the greatest

threat to their health and longevity.

EvergreenHealth Heart & Vascular CareMedical Director of Noninvasive Cardiology

Dr. Rachael Wyman sat down with us to

share what women should know about

their risks and the important ways they

can prevent heart disease by being informed

and making smart choices.

There seems to be a greateremphasis on womens cardiachealth in recent years.

Has that made an impact on the rates ofwomen who suffer from heart disease?

Weve made a lot of progress over the last 15 years

or so in raising awareness of heart disease as an

equal opportunity diseasethat it affects women

just as it does men. And th e good news is that th e

heart disease death rate in both men and women isdeclining, thanks in large part to the American Heart

Association and its dedication to promoting cardiac

health, in women especially. Still, more women die

each year from heart disease than men, and theres

more we can be doing to prevent our risks.

Q: What are the best waysfor women to preventheart disease and

maintain good cardiac health?

When it comes to the heart, women must

take charge of making the smart and healthy

lifestyle choices they know they should be

making but that often get overlooked. Beyond

those good decisions, there are a number ofnoninvasive tests our specialists can run to

measure your risk for heart complications.

Those, along with taking a look at family

history, can tell us a lot about the likelihood

of heart disease. Finally, and perhaps most

importantly, I tell women to listen to their

intuition. If something does not seem right

about how you feel, schedule an appointment

with your doctor to get it checked out.

Q:

Who, among women,is at risk for heart disease?

Its really important to know that

heart disease can affect women at any age, regardless

of family history and overall health. I do see a lot

of women, though, who have put off seeking care

because the disease often begins to develop at a time

when they are their busiest. They are in their 50s or

60s, not yet retired, and stretched thin from taking

care of others before themselves. Our tendency as

women to delay getting care is often what accelerates

the risk of the disease.

For women who develop heart disease, its rarely from

just one major risk fac tor. Its typically a combination

of several declining health attributes that compound

each other: Her cholesterol is a bit off, her bloodpressure is perhaps a little high, shes gained some

weight from inactivity and poor diet habits, and shes

recently had higher stress levels.

Q:

What warning signs shouldwomen watch for?

Its often difficult to catch some of

the major risk factors while they are developing. High

cholesterol, high blood pressure and even diabetes are

often fairly asymptomatic, and they offer few signs

until theyre serious health issues. Women need to be

diligent about communicating with their doctors and

tracking their blood pressure and cholesterol levels

over time.

Women should also know the symptoms

of acute cardiac distress and when to

seek immediate medical care. Chest

pain or discomfort is a common red

flag, along with an achy, heavy feeling,which is an indicator of coronary

artery disease. That feeling

can radiate to the back, up

into the jaw, down the arms or

shoulders, oftentimes on the

left side. Other symptoms,

like shortness of breath,

sweating or nausea

or feeling excessively

fatigued, are common,

as well.

Q:

HEART & VASCULAT & VASCULAR WELLNESS

WINTE

After a heart attack, the thought of returning

to exercise and physical activity is daunting.

Thats how 57-year-old Woodinville resident

Ted Perrywhod been used to an active

Northwest lifestylesays he felt after he

suffered a mild heart attack in April 2013.

It was the night before Perry was planning to leave on a

trip to Montana when he felt an ache toward the back

of his jawa sensation unlike anything hed ever felt

before, but one he knew should be taken seriously.

It turned out that despite his good physical condition,

Perry had a previously undetected severe artery blockage

that caused his symptoms to appear suddenly. His

doctors at EvergreenHealth


recommended a stenting

procedure to clear the

blockage, and after just two

nights in the hospital, Perry

was back at home, thankful

his heart attack hadnt been

worse, but uncertain what

the future might hold.

I was especially anxious about returning to exerciseand wasnt confident in star ting to be active again,

Perry recalls. It was an unfamiliar role for this avid

golfer, fly fisherman, hiker and sailor.

Perrys care team referred him to EvergreenHealth

Heart & Vascular Wellness Services, which offers

rehabilitation programs for all patients recovering

from cardiac events. Its where specialists with

expertise in cardiology, exercise physiology,

nutrition and pharmacology come together to

offer personalized exercise, counseling, education and

lifestyle-change resources designed to improve cardiac

health and overall wellness.

Most notably, its a place

where patients can find

a community of people

who understand their

challenges and who work

side by side to overcome

barriers that are both

physical and emotional.

Patients come to us

as individuals andoften leave as part

of a greater heart

community, explains

Jeff Roberts, manager

of EvergreenHealth

Heart & Vascular

Wellness Services.

synergy among

each other and between the providers who work one-

on-one with them to reach their goals.

Perry was paired with Nancy Smith, a registered

nurse and Heart & Vascular Wellness Services case

manager, who worked with him to establish his exercise

thresholds based on his heart-rate targets and the level

of activity Perry hoped to achieve.

Thats the benefit it gave me, Perry adds. The workouts

were closely monitored so we could see exactly whatwas happening with my heart. It gave me a lot of

security when doing some fairly strenuous activity.

Beyond the regular exercise sessions, Perry took

advantage of educational classes that aim to help

participants navigate lifestyle changes and lower their

risk factors.

I learned that even at 57, I wasnt the youngest person

in the program and my heart attack wasnt the most

severe. The camaraderie you build with others going

through the same experience really helps. Everyone

it together, Perry says.

But EvergreenHealths program and others like it

across the country have proven to be more than just

emotionally beneficial.

Patients who go through a cardiac rehabilitation

program are generally among those with lower

mortality rates, Roberts adds.

Still, despite that good news, national data from the

American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmon

Rehabilitation indicates that such programs are a la

underutilized service, with just a fraction of eligible

patients opting to participate.

According to Roberts, however, EvergreenHealths

participation rates are good, and impending change

health care insurance coverage may encourage broa

participation, as well.

As for Perry, though hes successfully completed his

personalized 12-week rehabilitation program, he say
