Cardiac electrophysiology provides new hope in the treatment of arrhythmia

abnormality, known as arrhythmia. It has also been shown to dramatically
improve the quality of life for patients with heart failure. This innovative

stroke or sudden cardiac death. An arrhythmia can be silent and may not
cause any symptoms. Register today for a potentially life-saving screening
to look for atrial fibrillation, the most common type of arrhythmia, at
Memorial Hermann Hear t & Vascular Institute-Texas Medical Center. The

and vascular conditions, is $139. The complete package will screen for:
Atrial fibrillation (arrhythmia)

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Carotid artery disease
Screenings are available December 8th

It is estimated that Heart Disease kills one person every 34 seconds. To better educate the public about our countrys number one killer, prevent the disease in those who dont have it and better treat those who do, Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital has renewed its commitment to make Heart Disease education, prevention and treatment a top priority by taking a leadership role in heart-related community education events and expanding the heart services available at the hospital.

Heart Walk on October 17, where Memorial Hermann Southeast donated $25,000 and raised an additional $17,000 in donations from physicians, employees and their friends and families. According to the American Heart Association, the proceeds from the walk, totaling approximately $170,000 and counting, will fund lifesaving research, as well as public and professional education programs in the community and across America.
Memorial Hermann Southeast not only utilized its presence at the Bay Area Start! Heart Walk to educate participants and their families about heart disease from A to Z, but Memorial Hermann Southeast volunteers also shared the exciting news about the hospitals expanded heart program and new treatments available for patients.
