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 provider,
Dr. Doug Portelance of EvergreenHealth Internal Medicine + Primary Care,
listened to Gregorichs heart and detected a faint arrhythmia.
It sounded to me like atrial brillation, which can be fairly common,
Dr. Portelance says of Gregorichs slightly irregular heartbeat. An in-ofce
electrocardiogram (EKG), which can measure the hearts electrical activity,
conrmed his suspicions.
But there was something unusual about Gregorichs presentation. He didnt
have any of the common risk factors for atrial brillation, so Dr. Portelance
referred him to EvergreenHealth Heart & Vascular Care for additional tests.

Coordinated Care
Bothell 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 specialists
pinpoint 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 ow. 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 ow 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 alone.
Barely a week after his 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 stay, 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 ready
for a three-day solo shing 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 adventure.
Then the unimaginable happened.
After piddling around outside, trying to gure 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 gure 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, his
tongue 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 rst 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 operator
counted together as Laura performed hands-only CPR
on her husband. She continued chest compressions
until paramedics arrived on the scene and took Tim to
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 see
him and tell me what was going on. There were
wonderful nurses there to reassure me.
And there were cardiac experts Dr. Christopher Price and
Dr. William Getchell to care for Tim, who promptly
recovered following the placement of two stents in his
arteries. But the key to Tims health was his wifes
preparedness and quick thinking.
Without CPR to keep Tims blood owing, he could have
suffered permanent brain injuries or heart damage.
Laura did a great job, and I am very fortunate to be alive,
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 people
really need to know CPR.

WOMEN & HEART DISEASE WOMEN & HEART DISEASE
WINTER 2014

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 Care
Medical 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.
Heart to Heart with
Dr. Rachael Wyman
DR. RACHAEL WYMAN
Did You Know?
Low-fat and heart-healthy
arent necessarily synonymous.
In fact, studies show that eating a Mediterranean-style
diet, which is rich in healthy fats, provides the most
benecial nutrition for reducing the risk of heart disease.
Many of the healthy fats in a Mediterranean diet are
unsaturated, and they primarily come from plant-based
foods such as olive oil, nuts and certain vegetables.
Unsaturated fats, when substituted for saturated fats, may
reduce unhealthy low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
levelsoften considered the bad cholesteroland may
help promote high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol,
which is good for your heart and your overall health.
Eat plenty of plant-based foods, including fruits and
leafy green vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts.
Opt for sh or poultry as your main protein.
Try to limit red meat to just a few times a month.
If you do eat red meat, choose lean cuts that are
about the size of a deck of cards.
Replace butter with moderate amounts of olive oil
or canola oil.
Skip the salt and use fresh herbs and spices
to enhance avor.
Pair your meal with a glass of red wineof course,
this is optional and should be done in moderation.
For more healthy meal ideas,
visit www.evergreenhealth.com/eatwellplaymore.
Consider these Mediterranean-style diet guidelines
when planning your next meal:
There seems to be a greater
emphasis on womens cardiac
health in recent years.
Has that made an impact on the rates of
women 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 the good news is that the
heart disease death rate in both men and women is
declining, 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 ways
for women to prevent
heart 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 of
noninvasive 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 factor. Its typically a combination
of several declining health attributes that compound
each other: Her cholesterol is a bit off, her blood
pressure 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 should
women watch for?
Its often difcult 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
ag, 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.

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 exercise
and wasnt condent in starting to be active again,
Perry recalls. It was an unfamiliar role for this avid
golfer, y sherman, 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 nd
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 and
often 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 Strength

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 benet it gave me, Perry adds. The workouts
were closely monitored so we could see exactly what
was 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 is in
it together, Perry says.
But EvergreenHealths program and others like it
across the country have proven to be more than just
emotionally benecial.
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 Pulmonary
Rehabilitation indicates that such programs are a largely
underutilized service, with just a fraction of eligible
patients opting to participate.
According to Roberts, however, EvergreenHealths
participation rates are good, and impending changes to
health care insurance coverage may encourage broader
participation, as well.
As for Perry, though hes successfully completed his
personalized 12-week rehabilitation program, he says the
benetsin the form of both the friendships and the
knowledge hes gainedcontinue to make an impact.
He even plans to teach a fellow participant how to sail.
These are things thatll stay with me the rest of my days,
he says.

Step by Step
EvergreenHealth rehabilitation and wellness case manager
Nancy Smith, RN, worked with Ted Perry on interval
training techniqueswhich alternate higher-intensity
exercise with lower-intensity recovery periodsto help the
Woodinville resident gradually return to physical activity
after a heart attack. Perry says he continues to use many
of the exercises he learned in the rehabilitation program
as part of his regular workouts today.
PICTURED AT LEFT: NANCY SMITH, RN, AND TED PERRY
Patients come to us as
individuals and often leave
as part of a greater heart
community.
Our goal is to help patients regain
independence in a safe environment
so that theyre comfortable being active
at home, Smith says.
Did You
Know?
The American Heart Association
recommends getting 30 minutes
of exercise a day, but did you

are just as benecial to your
