Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
Sudden cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. SCA usually results from an electrical disturbance in the heart that disrupts its pumping action, arresting blood flow. It occurs more frequently in males and children between the ages of 10 and 19. An arrhythmia is the most common cause of sudden…
Learn MoreTranscatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a surgical procedure for patients with severe and symptomatic narrowing of the aortic valve opening, known as aortic stenosis.
Learn MoreWATCHMAN™ Implant
Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation now have an alternative to long-term warfarin medication therapy. Deborah® was among the first in the region to implant the newly FDA-approved WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Implant. This is a breakthrough for patients with AF who are suitable for warfarin therapy, but who have reason to seek a…
Learn MoreRadiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation uses an electric current to heat up a small area of nerve tissue to stop it from sending pain signals. It can provide lasting relief for people with chronic pain, especially in the lower back, neck and arthritic joints.
Learn MoreRobotic Ablation Using Stereotaxis Remote Navigation
Robotic ablation is the safer, more effective ablation for patients with heart rhythm disorders or cardiac arrhythmias. The system navigates to those areas of heart tissue responsible for the irregularity and inactivates them. This all happens without open-heart surgery. Robotic ablation offers the following benefits: Patients are exposed to up to 60% less damaging X-ray…
Learn MoreBradycardia
Bradycardia is a slower than normal heart rate. The hearts of adults at rest usually beat between 60 and 100 times per minute. If you have bradycardia, your heart beats fewer than 60 beats per minute. Bradycardia can be a serious problem if the heart doesn’t pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body. For some…
Learn MoreHolter Monitor
A Holter monitor is a portable device with electrodes that attach to the patient’s chest, which continuously records heart rhythms for 24 to 48 hours. The device allows a Deborah® cardiologist to print an electrocardiogram strip and determine if the heart is working properly or if a patient may have a heart condition such as…
Learn MoreEndobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
Endobronchial Ultrasound, or EBUS technology is a pulmonary diagnostic tool providing real-time images of the lungs and surrounding areas. It is a critical instrument for diagnosing cancer, infections and inflammatory diseases impacting the lungs. EBUS offers these benefits: Dramatically improves accuracy in diagnosing cancer stages to determining potential treatment paths. Provides the possibility of less…
Learn MoreMinimally-Invasive AAA Stent Graft Repair
There are two types of repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms: open surgery and endovascular repair using a stent graft.
Learn MoreExercise Arterial Doppler
Similar to an arterial doppler, this test is an ultrasound exam of the arteries in a patient’s arms and legs. This test, however, is done while the patient is exercising on a treadmill.
