New York Methodist Hospital (NYM) has recently adopted an advanced technique for the maintenance of implanted heart devices called laser lead extraction (LLE). Over 500,000 Americans currently live with an implanted cardiac device, such as a pacemaker or an implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD). Since their invention, these devices have evolved considerably—pacemakers used to be the size of hamburgers, and now they're the size of silver dollars. Thanks to LLE, which is performed by a team of cardiologists at NYM, the way that these devices are maintained has evolved as well.

New York Methodist Hospital and Leeza's Place at Park Slope Geriatric Day Center will host free memory screenings on Monday, September 10, 2007, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at One Prospect Park West, President Street entrance, in Brooklyn. The two groups are partnering to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Because the earliest symptoms of the disease are gradual and often subtle, it is important that those over 65 be screened regularly to help differentiate possible dementia from the normal signs of aging.
