Kaliurang (UIINews) – The heart is a vital human organ that functions to pump blood and carry oxygen to all parts of the body. As one of the organs that plays an important role in human survival, this organ is the main key to saving one's life.

Cardiovascular disease is a disease that attacks the heart and blood vessels. According to the RI Ministry of Health (2012) the types of diseases that can be classified into heart and blood vessel disease are: coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertensive heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, heart failure, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and heart valve disease.

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and death worldwide. WHO in 2011 stated that heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world and 60% of all causes of death from heart disease are ischemic heart disease, and at least 17,5 million or the equivalent of 30% of deaths worldwide are caused by other heart diseases. It is estimated that by 2030 as many as 23,6 million people in the world will die from cardiovascular disease.

The Household Health Survey (SKRT) of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia states that the ranking of cardiovascular disease as a cause of death is increasing. Based on the 2002 SKRT results, it was shown that deaths from heart and blood vessel disease (over 15 years of age) amounted to 6,0% and increased again in 2005 to 8,4%. According to the 2013 Riskesdas, the province with the highest prevalence of coronary heart disease at age ≥ 15 years according to a doctor's diagnosis/symptoms was East Nusa Tenggara Province (4,4%), while the lowest prevalence was in Riau Province (0,3%).

Coronary heart disease or CHD (COronary Artery Disease or CAD) is the most common disease with a high mortality rate and is the leading cause of death in almost all countries in the world. In the United States, the death rate from CHD is 144,4 per 100.000 population. American Heart Association (AHA) stated that in 2008, approximately 770.000 Americans had their first coronary heart attack and about 430.000 people suffered from recurrent attacks. In addition, around 190.000 people experience coronary disease complications each year. The AHA reports that every 26 seconds, 1 American will get coronary heart disease and every minute, 1 American will die from this disease. According to WHO in 2004, at the global level, 3,8 million men and 3,4 million women die from CHD each year.

Death in cardiovascular disease is more often caused by the handling of cardiac emergencies that are not fast and precise. Cardiac emergencies including cardiac arrest, shock (shock), and acute heart failure are complications that cause a high mortality rate in patients with acute coronary syndromes, especially acute myocardial infarction. These deaths can occur outside the hospital or after admission to hospital treatment. Anticipation and prompt action that is appropriate within the first minutes by trained personnel will reduce the likelihood of cardiac arrest, shock, and acute heart failure. Education is very important for the public, especially people with heart and blood vessel disease in the hope that it will make them more quickly suspect and realize the possibility of a heart attack so that heart disease can be detected early and seek help more quickly.

Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Indonesia through Units Continuing Medical Education (CME) in collaboration with the Indonesian Association of Cardiovascular Specialists (PERKI) held Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) on 23-25 ​​September 2016 at the 1st floor Auditorium of the Faculty of Medicine building Universitas Islam Indonesia Jalan Kaliurang km 14.5 Yogyakarta. This training was attended by 26 doctors who graduated from various state universities with the largest number of participants coming from doctors who were alumni of FK UII.

This time the ACLS training was led by dr. Hasanah Mumpuni, Sp.PD, Sp.JP(K) and took place intensively for 3 days through focused lectures, interactive discussions, and teamwork, as well as skills training in skill stations and megacode using the most modern simulation tools. The material of this training contains materials Basic Life Support (Basic Life Support),Airway Management and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (Advanced Life Support). The purpose of this training is to provide knowledge and skills for medical personnel, especially doctors, so that they can comprehensively handle cardiac emergencies experienced by patients in medical services.

In the future this ACLS training will continue to be carried out at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Indonesia so that the quality of doctors' services for patients with cardiac emergencies is getting better so it is hoped that the mortality rate due to cardiac emergencies can decrease.
