Carey, associate professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Rochester and director of the Clinical Nursing Research Center, will share the results of a study funded by the National Institutes of Health to develop a non-invasive risk stratification approach to better identify firefighters at risk for cardiovascular events. 

Among on-duty professional firefighters, high-risk ECG markers of fatal cardiac events and abnormal stress test results that warrant further evaluation are prevalent. Annual physical checkups with routine 12-lead ECG can identify those who might benefit from preventive cardiovascular services.
