American Heart Association's Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support for Health Care Providers Training at CHEERS
Beyond the Basics:
Endocrine Emergencies

Some patients may not readily recognize, or may ignore, the slow and progressive clinical changes that are occurring and allow the disease to create an acute life-threatening condition.

The endocrine emergencies most commonly discussed by EMS providers typically deal with diabetes mellitus, a condition associated with malfunction of the pancreas or its hormones and improper regulation of the blood glucose level. >>Story

AHA International Training Center

CHEERS is an American Heart Association (AHA) International Training Center and authorized to conduct CPR and ECC Courses for healthcare providers in the Philippines.
 
When Lives Are at Stake… Quality Training Makes the Difference!
 
The American Heart Associations’ Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) programs are comprised of healthcare professionals at various levels ranging from local to regional, state and national.  AHA continues to work towards improving the science and obtaining a better understanding of the various  disease  processes  that  all healthcare providers  battle.
The American Heart Association is the recognized leader in resuscitation science and training.  The ECC program also develops, publishes and disseminates the science of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care and first aid internationally.  In coordination with various national organizations, the AHA publishes guidelines and scientific statements recognized as the international standard and help to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

The overwhelming strength of the American Heart Association’s training program is  “quality.”  This is achieved through our continued support of science and research in the field of emergency cardiovascular care. 

Insist on quality training from the world leader in emergency cardiovascular care -- the American Heart Association!
