Waikato doctors are turning to the medical equivalent of airline safety videos to help treat growing numbers of heart patients. Waikato Hospital heart specialist Dr Madhav Menon​ said patient educational videos could quickly become a key tool in helping staff meet the region's burgeoning health needs. One patient educational video has been trialled at Waikato Hospital to date, with another four videos planned. Since its inception in 1976, the Heart Trust has contributed more than $2 million to support cardiac services at Waikato Hospital.
