VT March 24th KTU exhibit- "How Hard Does Your Heart Work?"

What does your heartbeat look like? What happens to your heart when you do different activities? What makes your heart pump faster or slower?

Join Virginia Tech Rescue on Saturday to find out the answers to these questions and find out a little bit more about your most important organ; Your Heart! You will be able to see how your heart beats faster when you do strenuous activities and will also be able to see what your heart beat looks like on a computer screen!

The Virginia Tech Rescue Squad is an student-run volunteer EMS agency that provides 24/7 emergency care service to all of Virginia Tech's campus. VTRS has been providing 911 medical care to students, faculty, and visitors for the past 43 years, free of charge. Not only do we offer around-the-clock medical service, but we also attend standbys for large events and football games on campus, provide transport from the on campus clinic to higher care facilities, and offer CPR, AED, and First Aid certification classes to students, faculty, and visitors. VTRS maintains its fleet of four advanced life support (ALS) equipped ambulances, one ALS quick response vehicle, a communications interoperability command and control unit, a special operations truck and trailer, a mass casualty response unit, Cycle Emergency Response Team, and an all terrain vehicle.
