TRANSCRIPT
Historic Moments from the American Heart Association
A century ago heart disease patients were thought to be doomed. Thanks to countless scientists, medical professionals, dedicated volunteers and supporters,
that picture has changed. Below is a small representation of the groundbreaking research the association has funded through your generous donations, as well as other major achievements that have helped save and improve lives.
1924 The American Heart Association is Founded. Six cardiologists form the American Heart Association as a professional society for doctors. One of the founders, Dr. Paul Dudley White, described the early years as a time of “almost unbelievable ignorance” about heart disease.
1948 First Research Grant Awarded. The association awards its first research grant, to Nobel Prize winner Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi. The grant helped fund studies about the energy that muscles, such as the heart, need to contract.
1960 The Implantable Pacemaker. The first successful surgeries for completely implantable pacemakers are reported by Dr. William Chardack.
1960 Artificial Heart Valve Replacement. The first successful artificial heart valve replacement is performed by Dr. Albert Starr.
1964 First Female Career Investigator. Biochemist Mildred Cohn becomes our first female career investigator. Her work contributed to the development of the MRI, one of the most sophisticated imaging methods used today.
1969 Cigarette Ads Banned. The association issues a statement on cigarette labeling and advertising legislation. That same year legislation is passed banning cigarette advertising on television and radio.
1985 Donor Makes History. A grant from the Henrietta B. and Frederick H. Bugher Foundation becomes our largest gift. Three Bugher Foundation Centers for molecular Biology of the
Cardiovascular System are established, each receiving up to $1.12 million over five years.
1988 Airline Smoking Ban. Our advocacy efforts play a role in banning smoking on all commercial airlines.
1992 First Heart Walk. The first American Heart Walks are conducted nationwide. Major expansion follows in the years to come, with millions of supporters raising funds to fight heart disease and stroke.
1997 American Stroke Association is founded. The Stroke Division is founded. The next year, it’s renamed the American Stroke Association and begins work raising awareness and striving to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
2003 Drug-coated Stent. The FDA approves the first drug-coated stent to keep blocked arteries open while also releasing medications. Dr. Andrew Marks developed drug-coated stents to prevent the tiny wire tubes from accumulating fatty plaques.
2004 Go Red For Women Begins. The educational campaign raises women’s awareness that heart disease is their No. 1 killer and helps them take action to prevent it.
2007 Mission: Lifeline Launches. The program seeks to improve emergency systems of care for people who suffer STEMI, severe heart attacks that require urgent care.
2007 Healthy Donation. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation donates a record $20 million for the Healthy Schools Program.
2011 Nobel Prize Awarded. Dr. Ralph Steinman wins the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of how the immune system responds to infection.
2015 $3.8 Billion Investment. After 65 years of funding research, our investment in heart disease and stroke research totals more than $3.8 billion. The association is the leading funder of heart disease and stroke research outside the federal government.

Kay Machyniak, 63, of Wausau, Wisconsin, was
working to reduce her risk for heart disease.
While she could do nothing about her family history,
she quit her heavy smoking habit and lost weight. Still,
she was often short of breath, unusually tired and had
unexplained arm pain.
Kay shared her concerns with her daughter, Karla
Lodholz. She mentioned how excited she was about
a trip to Las Vegas with her fiancé. Upon arrival,
Kay called Karla to say she had made it safely. At
3 a.m., Karla’s phone rang again. Her mother was at
the hospital. She’d suffered a heart attack. She needed
a bypass operation.
Surgery went well. Recovery didn’t. An hour later,
Kay’s heart went into distress, failing to beat for
approximately three minutes.
Slowly but surely, Kay improved. She went to
intermediate care to begin walking and rebuilding
her strength, then after six weeks returned home. Three
months after completing her cardiac rehabilitation, Kay
took part in the Wausau Heart Walk.
This episode added to a long list of heart-related scares
for Karla. When she was 31, her favorite uncle died of
a heart attack at the age of 49. This became a factor
in her career path. Karla joined the American Heart
Association and is now regional vice president for field
operations in Wisconsin.
Karla knows all about the organization’s status in the
realm of cardiovascular research, providing more funds
than any organization outside the federal government.
The association has invested in excess of $3.8 billion,
including more than $100 million annually since 1996.
Now that her mom has been on the receiving end,
Karla’s connection to the mission is deeper, stronger.
“As much as I thought I knew so much about it, I saw
the science come out of that hospital room and knew
it was because of work we’ve done at the American
Heart Association,” she said.
Karla has long tried to be conscientious about following
a healthy diet and exercising. She’s redoubled her efforts
since her mom’s heart attack because she knows that
80 percent of heart disease and stroke can be prevented
with lifestyle changes.
“The thought of not having my mom really shook me
to my core,” Karla said. “I’m so happy to be working
for the American Heart Association because I know we
played an instrumental role in saving my mom’s life.”

Eva Dover is a
World Wa r I I
survivor. She and her
husband fled their home
in Hungary to escape
the Russian invasion,
moving to severa l
countries before settling
in the United States.
But that wasn’t the scariest
time in Eva’s life. That
came when she was forced to consider how to provide
for her adult son Peter, who lives with disabilities, after
she passes.
Eva’s husband passed away after 51 years of marriage,
and her sister still lives in Hungary. Peter receives social
security benefits and lives in a subsidized home.
“My son is alone,” she said. “I became worried about what
will happen after I pass away. I’m his only living relative
in this country.”
That’s when Eva attended a business seminar where
she met a Charitable Estate Planning Director for the
American Heart Association. It was there that Eva learned
about the benefits of a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA).
“I thought maybe I could establish a charitable gift annuity
that would benefit him for his lifetime, while not interfering
with his social security benefits,” she said. “It gave me
peace of mind knowing that he will have at least a little
additional money every month that no one can take away
from him.”
Eva receives the monthly income from her annuity until
she passes, at which time it will automatically transfer to
Peter for the rest of his life. “My main motive was to take
care of my son,” she said. “I tried to find a good trustee who
could help, but I couldn’t find someone whom I trusted.”
“I had never thought about this before, and sometimes you
have a thought coming from God. When I was sitting in
that seminar, it hit me that a few hundred a month would
really help my son.”

Planning from the Heart
Q: If I want to avoid estate tax and protect my assets, I have heard that I should never own anything in my name. Is that correct?
A: If your assets are less than $5.43M at your death, in most cases you won’t owe any federal estate taxes – some states also have estate taxes. To avoid having assets above that exempt amount taxed, you must gift them away at least three years before your death.
If Medicaid is your concern for nursing care, many states require gifts be made five years before you require nursing home care in order to be covered.
Several assets are already creditor-protected, like retirement accounts and life insurance. Such funds, though, are still generally subject to nursing home costs.
The problem with transferring assets out of your name is losing control over your assets, which often trumps creditor or tax concerns.
Answer provided by Regina L. Rathnau, JD CPA of the Law Office of Regina L. Rathnau LLC in Chicago, Illinois.

Chicken Tortilla Soup Serves: 4; 1½ cups per serving Slow cooker size/shape: 3- to 4½-quart round or ovalSlow cooking time: 6 to 8 hours on low, or 3 to 4 hours on high
A garnish of avocado bits, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and crisp tortilla strips adds texture and color to this popular soup.
In the slow cooker, stir together the chicken, corn, broth, tomatoes with liquid, onion, sugar, ancho powder, garlic, and salt. Cook, covered, on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.Arrange the tortilla strips in a single layer
on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack. Let the strips stand for about 15
minutes, or until cool. Transfer to an airtight container and set aside.
When the soup is ready, transfer 1 cup to a food processor or blender. Stir in the tortilla pieces. Let the mixture stand for 1 minute so the tortilla pieces soften. Process until smooth. Stir the mixture into the soup. Stir in the cilantro.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle with the avocado, bell pepper, and reserved baked tortilla strips.
