SMHeartCard solves a big problem: most Canadians who need ASA and Nitroglycerin for cardiac chest pain and angina don't carry their meds with them (1), and every minute without treatment increases the chance of death (2). SMHeartCard is a patented new system that protects ASA and Nitroglycerin pills from chemical breakdown, evaporation, and loss of potency. SMHeartCard is smaller than a credit card, and fits easily into a wallet, pocket, or purse.SMHeartCard is available at www.smheartcard.ca and at hundreds of Canadian pharmacies. Nitroglycerin is available without prescription from Canadian pharmacies.SMHeartCard was validated in the laboratory of Professor N. Davies, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Alberta. Medications stored in SMHeartCard resist extreme temperatures and evaporation, and perform as well as if they were in the manufacturer's packaging. These results were presented at the 2018 Canadian Cardiovascular Congress in Toronto (3) and are under peer review for publication. SMHeartCard helps:• People with established CAD / angina who may forget their ASA or NTG and need it for treatment of angina or MI.• People away from immediate medical care because they work remotely, spend time in the wilderness, or travel overseas.• First responders who help someone with a cardiac event.• People with heart attack risk factors: diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, family history of heart disease, and age > 55.
