    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.

    diet, which is rich in healthy fats, provides the

    Consider these Mediterranean-style diet guidwhen planning your next meal:

    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.

    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

    Heart & Vascular Care

    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.

    Theres a healthy

    synergy among

    patients supporting

    Regaining Strengthas Part of aHeart Community

    PICTURED ABOVE: TED PERRY

    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

    benefitsin the form of both the friendships and th

    knowledge hes gainedcontinue to make an impa

    He even plans to teach a fellow participant how to s
