A marathoner who couldn't imagine life without physical activity, Jack was prepared to curtail his activity and take medication the rest of his life. When he was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, Jack went looking for a cure, not just a treatment. he found it in the Regional Cardiac Care Program at Southlake Regional Health Centre. After undergoing an ablation procedure where his heart was mapped form the inside out, jack is now back to his active self, enjoying life to the fullest.

Before having a heart valve replaced Kay Ludlow experienced shortness of breath so severe she couldn't walk more than a short distance or blow out a candle. She wasn't even well enough to undergo open heart surgery.

The interprofessional team at Southlake's Regional Cardiac Care Program however has a solution. Southlake is one of on a handful of community-based hospitals to offer an innovative, minimally invasive, procedure called Trans Aortic Valve Implantation, TAVI for short. Instead of a traditional open heart valve replacement the Southlake team replaced her valve through several small incisions.

Kay returned to Southlake to celebrate her 90th birthday and the new lease on life that Southlake has given her, blowing out the candles on her cake to show how much her life had improved.
