  With the arrival of Dr. Howard Feldman and the opening of the Shaw Heart and Vascular Center at Mercy Medical Center, 289 patients were treated in Roseburg rather than being rushed out of town in an ambulance.
  
  Feldman, an interventional cardiologist, brought the procedure known as angioplasty to Mercy.He's able to open the clogged arteries of patients suffering from heart attacks or severe blockages and place stents inside, allowing the blood to flow once again.
  ...
  Fortunately, Feldman, who came to town with impressive credentials - he's board certified in cardiology, interventional cardiology, vascular medicine and endovascular medicine - has had good results.
  
  He and the 19 staff members at the heart center treated 58 heart attack patients, saving all but five, in its first year of operation.The first heart attack patient arrived on the day the center opened; he survived and is doing well.
  ...
  A second interventional cardiologist would be able to reduce the workload of Feldman, who's basically on call 24 hours a day.Feldman left Great Falls, Mont., to join Mercy's staff.
  
  We're hopeful another doctor as qualified and dedicated as Feldman will come to Roseburg soon to aid in the continued success of this center that is so important to the heart health of our local residents.

  Dr. Howard Feldman gives a Power Point presentation with a slide captioned ‘Well, this could be the last time ... ' at the Shaw Heart and Vascular Center's first anniversary celebration.
  ...
  "Dr. (Howard) Feldman, I remember him looking down on me and saying ‘I'll go get a team ready right now,'" Stearns said.
  ...
  Feldman, the interventional cardiologist at the center, performed the artery-opening procedure and had Stearns out of the hospital the next day.
  ...
  Feldman revealed these facts and figures, along with dozens of others, at a one-year anniversary celebration of the center's opening Wednesday afternoon.
  
  On opening day, Jan. 2, 2007, Feldman treated someone who was having a "mammoth heart attack" and kept the patient from being taken to an out-of-area hospital.Oftentimes, when patients did need to be transported, hours would pass before a patient would receive stenting or other treatment, Feldman said.In the meantime, heart muscle was being lost.
  
  "The longer the wait, the more heart muscle destroyed and (there is) a corresponding increase in the mortality rate," Feldman said.
  
  To prevent damage to the heart, the center has a goal of opening patients' arteries within 90 minutes of reaching the hospital - referred to by staff as the door-to-ballon time.In the first year, the heart center was able to meet that goal 82 percent of the time, Feldman said.
  
  In the first year, 289 patients were treated by the 19 staff members at the Shaw Heart and Vascular Center.
  ...
  The advances in patient treatment over the past few decades have improved care and have decreased the mortality rate for heart attack patients, Feldman said.In the past, mortality rates were as high as 14 percent, now they are down to 1 to 2 percent, he said.
  ...
  But in the past, heart treatment was not offered somewhere where surgery wasn't also provided, Feldman said.
  
  "Before, it would be unthinkable to do what I do every day without a surgeon standing behind me shaking his head," he said.
