Iredell Memorial Hospital Increases Cardiovascular Services Iredell Memorial Hospital has increased its cardiovascular services by adding a new, state-of-the-art, digital interventional lab, complete with an Angiojet for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. “We are pleased to offer the community the highest level of advanced diagnoses along with the latest treatment options like those performed in the interventional lab,” said Ed Rush, president and CEO of Iredell Memorial. The lab is capable of taking photos from chest to feet with only one injection of dye, which means the patient is exposed to less radiation. Zoo Wins Energy Award Asheboro- The North Carolina Zoo has been named 2008 recipient of the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Champion Award presented this month at the Fifth Annual N.C. Sustainable Energy Conference held in Raleigh. The Sustainable Energy Awards are presented annually to agencies and individuals that have made outstanding contributions in helping North Carolina achieve its sustainability goals. The zoo was recognized for nearly 20 years as a state leader in environmental stewardship, energy efficiency, alternative fuels and renewable energy. Led by its Conservation Captains committee, the zoo has developed a variety of sustainable programs including recycling, water meters, reduced water usage, energy management and composting. Other zoo projects include a biodiesel processor that converts waste cooking oil to diesel fuel, solar, picnic shelters that produce enough electricity to run 13 homes and a constructed wetland that filters runoff water from its North America parking lot. In addition to its sustainable practices the zoo also presents education programs on energy conservation and environmental stewardship for the more than 750,000 visitors that annually attend the park. The lab uses a process called digital subtraction to mask all the patient’s soft tissue and bones so that the only things in view are vessels and arteries. The interventional lab will be used to detect arterial disease in the kidney and legs. The Angiojet System dissolves potentially deadly blood clots in the patient’s vessels. “Treatment to open blocked blood vessels can help people who have severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD), improve quality of life, avoid leg damage and possible Hoover Reunion Planned ine V3tn annual jonn ana Kegina Lieb Hoover reunion will be Sunday.

According to a survey published in the Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), affects eight million Americans. The earliest symptoms of PAD are often a cramping pain and fatigue in legs and buttocks during physical activity. The pain is a sign that not enough oxygen-rich blood is getting to the legs during exertion.
