When your heart is on the line,

choose nationally accredited care.

The moment you feel chest pain or shortness of breath that could be a heart attack, go to Lake Granbury Medical Center. We are accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers, the national chest pain center accreditation agency. That’s important because accredited chest pain centers have demonstrated expertise in the timely diagnosis and treatment of cardiac emergencies.*

So in an emergency, call 911 and know where to go. Choose a nationally accredited Chest Pain Center. Choose Lake Granbury. For more information, visit GranburyHeartCare.com.

*According to the Society of Chest Pain Centers, www.scpcp.org.

The benefi ts of weight-loss surgery go beyond what the eye can see. If you are 100 pounds or more overweight, weight-loss surgery may be safer than continuing to carry around those extra pounds. National Institutes of Health found that individuals that have had surgery were less likely to develop, and more likely to recover

from, diabetes and other heart disease risk factors. It may also help improve the body’s ability to control sugar levels and help lower the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Bradley Hart, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the medical staff at Lake Granbury Medical Center (LGMC), can help you fi nd hope and discover a whole new and healthier you. Dr. Hart performs LAP-BAND® weight-loss surgery. In fact, Dr. Hart is the only surgeon in north Texas using daVinci® robot-assisted

technology to perform the surgery, which can mean:

Quicker Recovery - Less Scarring - Less Pain

LAP-BAND® is the fi rst adjustable banding device approved by the FDA. This system does not require any cutting or stapling of the stomach. The band, which is placed around the upper portion of the stomach like a belt, helps reduce the stomach’s capacity by restricting the amount of food you are able to eat at one time. Plus, it helps you feel full faster and stay full longer. After surgery, the device can be loosened or tightened in the physician’s offi ce to help maintain and ensure optimal weight loss.

Since spring 2011, Dr. Hart has performed over 25 LAP-BAND® procedures. If you are interested in learning more about what LAP-BAND® can offer you, attend one of LGMC’s FREE informational seminars.

Congratulations, Healthy Woman

...on 6 years of providing area women with the resources to maintain and preserve a healthy lifestyle.

— Avi T. Deshmukh, M.D., F.A.C.S. M.B.A.

Dealing with everyday aches and painsAs a woman, you most likely experience

aches and pains from your daily activities

no matter what your lifestyle entails. In fact,

a recent study shows 89 percent of women

experience some type of muscle or joint

pain every year, and 63 percent experience

it weekly, according to ProAct, an indepen-

dent marketing research fi rm.

But whether the discomfort stems from a

day at work, strenuous exercise or house-

work, pain has its price -- from feeling tired

and low on energy, to contributing to

feelings of stress, depression and frustration.

Before discomfort gets the better of you,

reduce your risk for pain and relieve the

aches you already have with these simple

measures:

AVOID OVEREXERTIONDon’t save all your heavy-duty chores for

one weekend, especially if you’re not

regularly active. If you suddenly spend the

whole day cleaning out your basement, or

climbing ladders to clear gutters, muscle

strain or overexertion is highly likely,

because you have to let muscles build up

gradually.

The same goes for working out. Consult a

physician or fi tness professional to build an

exercise routine safely.

RELAXHot baths, gentle stretching and medita-

tion can help prevent and relieve stress-

related muscle tension and stiffness.

Even if it means putting the kids to bed

early or turning your phone off for an hour,

incorporate stress-free down time into your

busy day, every day.

MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHTExcess weight puts undue stress on joints.

Try a diet that promotes joint and tissue

heath. Eat foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids

like salmon. Add fl axseeds to salads or try

cooking with mustard seed, ginger, turmeric

or cayenne pepper, all of which have

anti-infl ammatory properties and health

benefi ts.

The “Mediterranean Diet” has been touted

in recent years. Women in Italy and Greece

set a good example by serving foods that

are rich in heart-healthy antioxidants and

good fats. Nuts, whole grains, fi sh and

olives are hearty and heart-healthy foods.

Mediterranean cultures also use wine to

improve heart health, help prevent cancer

and slow the progression of neurological

diseases, like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Studies have also shown that moderate

amounts of alcohol can raise your

good cholesterol and thin your

blood.

TAKE BREAKS FROM COMPUTER WORK

Research shows that

women’s aches and pains

stem more from daily activities like sitting at

a computer too long than from injuries. Be

sure to take periodic walking breaks or sit

on a ball to keep muscles activated.

While modern life has created challenges

that lead to aches and pains, women don’t

need to grin and bear it. By adopting these

healthy habits and taking proper care of

yourself, you can avoid pain and treat aches

naturally before they get out of hand.


Lake Granbury Medical Center (LGMC),

building on its long-established reputation of

improving the access to quality healthcare – close

to home – is now certified as an accredited Chest

Pain Center. The majority are centered in large

metropolitan areas throughout the state. LGMC,

primarily serving Hood, Somervell, and

Erath counties, is one of the smallest

rural hospitals to achieve such

distinction. Only about 12

percent of hospitals in the

United States hold

Society of Cardiovascu-

lar Patient Care

(formerly Society of

Chest Pain Center)

accreditation.

This designation

means that any patient

who comes to LGMC

experiencing chest pain

can be confident he or she is

receiving care that meets or

exceeds the highest national

standards of care. Positive patient

outcomes depend on timely intervention,

diagnosis, and treatment.

To minimize the risk of permanent heart

damage, the American College of Cardiology

recommends physicians reestablish blood flow to

the heart with a balloon angioplasty within 90

minutes of admission to the Emergency

Department. In 2011, LGMC’s average door-to-

balloon time was 52 minutes. So far, in 2012, the

average is 28 minutes. This means heart muscle

saved and probability of survival increased.

The investment in establishing an Accredited

Chest Pain Center demonstrates LGMC’s ongoing

commitment to providing superior team-centered

cardiac care. LGMC’s skilled team of cardiolo-

gists, ER physicians, and nurses, integration with

local emergency response teams, advanced

technology and exceptional response time to

cardiac emergencies give patients the best chance

of survival and recovery.

LGMC’s Cardiac Cath Lab has been open since

June 2009. It continually promotes protocol-

based medicine and the adoption of process

improvement science to address heart attacks

and acute heart failure. The SCPC Chest Pain

Center granted LGMC a full three-year

accreditation.

HEART ATTACK AND WOMENAccording to the American Heart Association,

coronary heart disease is the leading cause of

death in women. Heart attacks and their

aftermath tend to be more deadly in women.

About one-quarter more women than men die

within a year of having a heart attack. This may

happen because women are generally older than

men when they suffer heart attacks. Also,

women don't respond as well as

men to the treatments usually

prescribed during or after a

heart attack.

For many women, a

heart attack may feel

like a strange discom-

fort in the back or

some other easily

ignored sign, instead of

crushing chest pain.

When women do go to

the hospital, doctors may

miss the diagnosis of heart

attack because the symptoms

are vague. Without a definite

diagnosis, a woman may be sent

home thinking that her symptoms don't

mean anything serious.

Studies confirm that heart disease may differ

in women in ways that doctors may not realize.

Heart disease, in many women doesn't occur

from obvious blockages in arteries as it does in

men. Instead, for women, plaque spreads evenly

along the artery wall or in the smaller arteries—

areas hidden from an angiogram, the standard

imaging test that measures blood flow in the big

arteries.

SUBTLE SYMPTOMSIn women with this problem, which is called

coronary microvascular syndrome, blood flow to

the heart falls dangerously low. But they don't

often feel the "elephant-on-the-chest" pain that

takes place when large arteries shut down.

Instead, they may have subtle symptoms. They

may feel pressure or squeezing or shortness of

breath. Symptoms may even pop up elsewhere in

the body, such as the jaw. (This symptom of jaw

pain can also appear in men having a heart

attack.)

Many women with microvascular disease may

continue to have symptoms and become sicker.

They may be at an increased risk for heart attack

within five years.

Some experts suggest that hormonal changes

associated with aging or inflammation may

explain why women's smaller blood vessels don't

work right.

The stage for heart disease is set before

menopause by factors such as high blood

pressure, high cholesterol, extra weight

(especially around the waist), and smoking—all

factors that play a part in plaque buildup.

WARNING SIGNSWomen are more likely to have "nonclassic"

heart attack symptoms than men. Still, doctors

note, unexplained jaw, shoulder, back, or arm

pain can also signal a man's heart attack even

when the classic crushing chest pain is absent.

These are the most common warning signals

for heart attack:

• Pain or discomfort in the center of the

chest that lasts more than a few minutes,

or goes away and comes back

• Chest discomfort with sweating

• Pain that spreads from the chest to the

arm, neck, or jaw

• Shortness of breath, tiredness, or upset

stomach; these are particularly common in

women

If you are at risk for heart disease and have

any of these symptoms, seek medical attention,

up to and including calling 911, immediately.

Time is a crucial factor in a heart attack because

the longer the blockage remains untreated; the

more heart muscle will die. Also, drugs that

break down blockage in the arteries (thrombolyt-

ic therapy) must be given within the first few

hours.

CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSUREBefore menopause, for instance, a systolic

reading (the upper number) of more than

120 on your blood pressure reading seems

to show you face an added risk, studies have

found. Experts recommend that women have

their blood pressure checked any time they

go to a health care provider, including

visits to an OB/GYN provider.

High blood pressure is one of a

cluster of symptoms called metabolic

syndrome that also includes high

cholesterol; high triglycerides,

which are another type of blood

fat; insulin resistance; and

obesity.

Any woman found to have

microvascular disease,

metabolic syndrome, and

other heart disease risk

factors needs treatment.

This often means medication, but with mildly

elevated numbers, lifestyle changes such as

regular exercise and losing weight may help. The

aim is to get your LDL ("bad") cholesterol below

130 mg/dL, your HDL ("good") cholesterol above

40 mg/dL (but above 60 mg/dL is preferable),

your triglycerides below 150 mg/dL, and your

waist size under 35 inches.

For women with high cholesterol, high blood

pressure, or diabetes, however, medication is a

must to help prevent heart disease. Exercise and

diet are still important, but are secondary.

Preventing or controlling heart disease may

mean making changes in the way you live. A

healthy heart requires a personal action plan. But

where do you begin? A complete medical

checkup is a sensible first step, especially if you

have multiple risk factors. Your health care

provider can tell if you have cardiovascular

disease or its risk factors, and if so, help you

with a practical treatment plan. Even if you don't

have any risk factors now, you can

discuss ways to lessen your

chances of developing

them.

We’ve just put advanced surgical technology into the hands of the experienced surgeons right here at Lake Granbury Medical Center. The da Vinci® Surgical System for surgeon-guided, robotic-assisted procedures allows for more pre-cision in minimally invasive surgery, generally resulting in less scarring, less pain, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgeries.* And it’s now being used for many general surgery and gynecologic procedures.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month—the

perfect time to discuss the importance of mammography.

Because breast cancer is often detectable in its early stages

when there’s a good chance for a cure, breast cancer

screening is essential to early detection.

Most significantly, mammography is

an important line of defense against

breast cancer because it can identify

tumors even before they can be felt.

According to the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, aside

from non-melanoma skin cancer,

breast cancer is the most common

cancer among women in the United

States. It is also one of the leading

causes of cancer death among women

of all races. In 2008 (the most recent

year numbers are available), 210,203 women in the United

States were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 40,589

women died from the disease.

The National Cancer Institute recommends that women

age 40 or older have screening mammograms every 1 to 2

years. If a woman is at high risk for developing breast

cancer, her doctor may recommend screening at a younger

age, along with additional imaging studies.

Women’s Imaging at Lake Granbury Medical Center is a

proud to offer a variety of breast cancer screening

techniques.

SCREENING AND DIAGNOSTIC MAMMOGRAPHY

A conventional screening mammogram is a low-dose

X-ray test that creates images of breast tissue so doctors can

check for lesions or other abnormalities. The x-ray images

make it possible to detect tumors that cannot be felt, and

can find microcalcifications (tiny deposits of calcium) that

sometimes indicate the presence of breast cancer.

A mammogram used to check for breast cancer after a

lump or other sign or symptom of the disease is called a

diagnostic mammogram. Besides a lump, signs of breast

cancer can include breast pain, thickening of the skin of

the breast, nipple discharge, or a change in breast size or

shape; however, these signs may also be signs of benign or

non-cancerous breast conditions.

DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHYAt Women’s Imaging at Lake Granbury Medical Center,

women who undergo routine mammograms also have

up-to-date diagnostic technology available with digital

mammography.

While digital imaging feels almost identical to conven-

tional mammography, its benefits are a shorter exam time

than traditional mammograms, and less chance that patients

will be called back for repeat exams.

Digital images tend to provide doctors with better

visibility of the breast, chest wall and dense breast tissue.

Through computer-aided technology, radiologists are able

to enhance certain areas of the digital images to get a more

precise picture of a patient’s condition. The digital images

can also be stored electronically, and later retrieved to

share with other doctors if needed in the future.

To minimize any discomfort of the mammogram, Lake

Granbury Medical Center offers soft foam pads which serve

as a cushion between a woman’s breast and the mammog-

raphy machine, resulting in a warmer and more comfort-

able mammogram. Although compression is still required,

the pads provide an extra level of cushion for the patient.

The professionals at Lake Granbury Medical Center are

ready to provide the breast screening technique that is

appropriate for the individual woman.

For more information on various breast diseases and

conditions, the anatomy of the breasts, other screening

tools and more, visit www.lakegranburymedicalcenter.com,

choose the “Health Resources” tab and type “Breast Health”

in the search box.

Dr. Donald Howser, M.D., Board Certified physician,

with the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

offers many services to provide his patients with

prenatal care and delivery, well woman care, contra-

ception, infertility treatment, menopause, abnormal

pap smear evaluation and treatment, and endometrial

ablation. Dr. Howser is a member of the medical staff

at Lake Granbury Medical Center.
