Contraceptive implants are a long-term birth control option for women. A contraceptive implant is a flexible plastic rod about the size of a matchstick that is placed under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a low, steady dose of a progestational hormone. One reason the birth control implant is so effective is that it’s easy to use. Advantages include: • one of the highest levels of effectiveness of all contraceptives • no need to worry about birth control for three years • fertility returns as soon as the implant is removed • appropriate for women who can’t use birth control that contains estrogen Talk to your physician about it. To schedule an evaluation with a Memorial Hospital Provider contact one of our Rural Health Clinic Locations.

Cardiac strain imaging evaluates the function of the heart muscle using noninvasive ultrasound imaging to identify subtle changes in heart functions. What is Cardiac Strain Ultrasound? Strain imaging is a method in echocardiography (ultrasound) for measuring change in shape and dimension of the myocardium (heart muscle) during the heart cycle. By strain imaging, the simultaneous function of different regions can be displayed and measured. If there is a part that is weakened it shows reduced and altered function. Cardiac strain testing aids clinicians in determining next steps of patient care especially those with: • LVH or Heart Thickening • Heart Failure • Aortic Stenosis (Heart Valve Disease) • Cancer What Causes Heart Disease? High stress levels, excessive alcohol use, not exercising regularly, and eating too much fat, salt or sugar all put extra strain on your heart. Some people have a family history of heart disease, so they may be at higher risk of developing heart problems themselves. Is Heart Disease Serious? The disease can lead to heart swelling and eventual heart failure. Diseases of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy). Cardiomyopathy often makes the heart rigid or thick. It can make it harder for the heart to pump blood. Symptoms of Heart Disease • Pressure or fullness • Burning or tightness in your chest • Crushing or searing pain that spreads to your back, neck, shoulders, and one or both arms • Pain that lasts more than a few minutes • Pain that gets worse with activity • Pain that goes away and comes back • Pain that varies in intensity Tests for Diagnosing Heart Conditions Talk to your doctor about any cardiac symptoms you may be having. To help identify your condition they may order some tests which could include: • Blood pressure tests • Monitoring Your Pulse • X-rays & Stress Tests • Cardiac Strain Ultrasound Talk to your doctor today about whether or not Cardiac Strain Ultrasound may be right for you.

We’re dedicated to healing wounds, preventing lower limb loss and optimizing outcomes for our patients. If you or a loved one has a wound that is of concern or is not healing properly, we encourage you to visit the wound center for an evaluation. A wound that is not healing properly may be complicated by underlying conditions such as diabetes, circulation problems or previous radiation treatment. Sometimes, the simplest of wounds can turn into a significant problem because the body’s normal healing process is affected. Other types of hard-to-heal wounds result from pressure, trauma or infection. Non-healing wounds can have serious health consequences and may adversely affect your quality of life. Types of Wounds Treated As a comprehensive wound healing center, we specialize in the treatment of all types of non-healing and difficult-to-heal wounds including: • Diabetic foot ulcers • Venous ulcers • Pressure ulcers • Non-healing, surgical wounds • Arterial/ischemic ulcers • Traumatic wounds • Infected wounds • Crush injuries • Compromised flaps or grafts Wound Care Specialist: Dr. Margret DeGuzman Contact Us Please contact Memorial Hospital at 618-826-4583 to learn more about how we can help you or a loved one.
