This past April, St. David’s HealthCare led a panel discussion at SXSW about the use of artificial intelligence in brain mapping. Dr. William Rice, senior vice president of clinical innovation at St. David’s HealthCare, moderated the panel. One of the panelists, Dr. Dhruve Jeevan, a neurosurgeon with St. David’s HealthCare, is using brain mapping as a pre-surgical planning tool to better understand the unique connections of each of his patients with tumors. Through the use of AI, he is able to take patients’ MRIs and visualize the critical brain networks to aid in preserving brain function, lowering the risk of post-surgical complications. Previously, surgeons applied knowledge from generalized brain maps to treat their patients. To view the full panel: https://lnkd.in/gvZkZA2v #TheBestIsHere #AI #Brain #Aging #Innovation #Healthcare

This April, St. David's HealthCare employees went above and beyond to make a difference in our community.

Our commitment to serving others is a testament to our belief in the power of caring and compassion. #NationalVolunteerMonth #CareLikeFamily #TheBestIsHere

Heart Hospital of Austin is the first in Texas to implant a new, innovative treatment option for people with tricuspid regurgitation. This new transcatheter repair system is a minimally invasive therapy to repair leaky tricuspid heart valves without the need for open heart surgery. This minimally invasive approach allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently and relieve symptoms of tricuspid regurgitation, which improves the quality of life for our patients. Our team of specialists at Heart Hospital of Austin are proud to continue to provide quality care to our community using first-of-its-kind and cutting-edge technology. #TheBestIsHere To learn more about our #cardiovascular services: www.stdavids.com/heart

Your dedication makes a difference. Happy Doctors' Day! #TheBestIsHere

Another first in Central Texas for our team at Heart Hospital of Austin! We are excited to now be able to treat a unique group of patients using a minimally invasive technology to help reduce high blood pressure. Recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the renal denervation system is a procedure that targets nerves near the kidneys that may become overactive and cause high blood pressure. This allows patients to manage their blood pressure, lower their medication, decrease risks of stroke, heart and kidney disease, and improve their lifestyle. As leaders in cardiovascular care, our team of specialists at Heart Hospital of Austin are continuously exploring the latest treatment options that support our patient-centered approach to care.

Today, Drs. Natale and Al-Ahmad and our team at Texas Cardiac Arrythmia Institute at St. David's Medical Center made history by being the first in the nation to use the newly approved non-thermal cardiac ablation system for treating Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). This cutting-edge technology delivers high-energy electrical pulses to selectively destroy cells causing irregular heart rhythms while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue, further improving safety outcomes for our patients.
