SJMC now offers Pulse Field Ablation (PFA), a next-generation treatment for certain types of arrhythmias. Using ultra-short electrical pulses instead of heat, Pulse Field Ablation allows cardiologists to target abnormal heart tissue with high precision, while minimising impact on surrounding structures. With advanced 3-modality guidance (CARTO 3 mapping, fluoroscopy and transoesophageal echocardiography), this approach supports: ✔ Greater accuracy ✔ Shorter procedure times ✔ Faster recovery ✔ Lower risk of complications Learn more about our comprehensive Cardiology services at: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdRhSdgu If you’re experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, or fainting, early assessment matters.

This week marks the start of Heart Failure Awareness Week in the U.S. In heart failure care, rising risk often shows up before symptoms worsen or weight changes. Fluid can accumulate quietly—while patients appear stable and traditional monitoring suggests little has changed. Tools like HF-Dex® are designed to surface those changes earlier, giving care teams clearer insight into readmission risk and more time to intervene. Learn how heart failure programs are using fluid intelligence to support earlier, more proactive care. 🔗 Explore Heart Health Management https://lnkd.in/g4eihM6J #HeartMonth #HFWeek #HeartFailure #Cardiology

❤️A heart-care first for Western North Carolina❤️ Mission Hospital is proud to be the first hospital in Western North Carolina to implant a new leadless pacemaker that can treat more patients with slow or irregular heart rhythms. Unlike traditional pacemakers, this advanced technology is placed directly inside the heart — no wires, no chest incision, and no visible device under the skin. Even more exciting, it can now support both chambers of the heart, helping nearly 80% of patients who need dual-chamber pacing. ✨ What this means for patients: • Fewer complications • Less discomfort • Faster recovery • Fewer movement restrictions “Being the first hospital in Western North Carolina to offer this option means our patients can receive cutting-edge care close to home,” said Dr. John Brandt of Asheville Cardiology Associates. We’re proud to continue expanding access to advanced heart care and improving quality of life for our community.

Proud moment for our region and a strong signal of where advanced cardiovascular care is heading. Being the first hospital in Western North Carolina to implant next generation leadless, dual chamber pacing technology reflects a clear commitment to innovation, access, and patient centered outcomes. Fewer complications, faster recovery, and expanded eligibility translate directly into better value for patients and the system. This is what it looks like when clinical excellence, physician leadership, and operational execution align to raise the bar for heart care close to home. Kudos to the entire team driving this forward. #Cardiology #InnovationInHealthcare #ClinicalExcellence #AccessToCare #RaisingTheBar

CARDIAC TAMPONADE 🫀 Cardiac Tamponade: A Silent but Life-Threatening Emergency Cardiac tamponade occurs when fluid accumulates in the pericardial space, compressing the heart and impairing its ability to pump effectively. Early recognition can save lives. 🔎 Key Symptoms to Watch For: Sudden breathlessness Chest pain or discomfort Hypotension Tachycardia Distended neck veins Fatigue or restlessness ⚠️ Classic clinical finding: Beck’s Triad • Hypotension • Muffled heart sounds • Elevated jugular venous pressure In emergency settings, bedside echocardiography plays a crucial role in rapid diagnosis. Prompt intervention such as pericardiocentesis can be life-saving. As healthcare professionals, staying alert to subtle signs can make all the difference. #Cardiology #EmergencyMedicine #CardiacTamponade #MedicalEducation #Healthcare

In India, heart health is often addressed only after symptoms appear, while prevention remains an overlooked part of everyday lifestyle. Dr. Hemant B. Telkar, Cardiac Imaging Specialist & Radiologist, Director – Infinity Medical Center, and Co-Founder – INDIAN ASSOCIATION OF CARDIAC IMAGING, shares insights on how gaps in awareness continue to put individuals and families at risk, despite the fact that many cardiac conditions are predictable and preventable with timely action. Key takeaways from the conversation: - Prevention is a lifestyle choice - Heart risk can be detected early - Technology enables proactive care - Early action protects families This conversation is part of Straight from the Heart: Every Beat Counts, a video series by ETHealthworld in association with Philips, bringing expert perspectives on the evolving realities of heart health.
