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.

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

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.
8 Healthy Woman 6th Anniversary Lake Granbury Medical Center
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.
