Precise Magnetic Navigation
“I always wondered when it might happen again and if I’d be able to get it to stop before it did serious damage,” remembers Linda Carter. For 22 years she had suffered episodes of tachycardia– a racing heart.
As she grew older, the spells became more frequent and intense, until finally physicians needed to momentarily stop her heart to correct its rhythm.
That was the last straw. Linda learned of a groundbreaking new technology called the Niobe Magnetic Navigation System, manufactured by Stereotaxis, offered at only one hospital in Wisconsin, The Wisconsin Heart Hospital.
“This is a quantum step forward for patients with cardiac arrhythmias,” says Peter Chapman, MD, at The Wisconsin Heart Hospital. “Stereotaxis provides gentle access to remote areas of the heart difficult to reach before. Now there’s potential for patients who had to rely on drug therapy alone.”
Today Linda is free of tachycardia, medication, and the worries they cause.
