Eye on Health - Cath Lab

Work in and around the heart is serious business...

That was easy to see this week as a leader in medical devices for the heart brought a simulated lab to the region.

Perry Olson had a pro show us how it works for tonight's Eye on Health.

(Dr. Robert Percell - Trinity Health Cardiologist) "This is a patient who has been sedated..."


Well..not really! This is actually a fake patient...on the Boston Scientific Simulated Cath Lab bus that made a stop in Minot last week. Dr. Robert Percell a Trinity Health Cardiologist gave us a look inside.

(Dr. Robert Percell - Trinity Health Cardiologist) "And her right coronary artery actually looks normal."


Actually, we got a look at what can happen if we don't take care of our bodies...

(Dr. Robert Percell - Trinity Health Cardiologist) "A to Z you see everything and hopefully we can get people thinking about the fact that everything you eat, every step you take, every day you skip exercise, these are things that effect your ability or tendency to develop coronary artery disease."


Local students and clinicians had a chance to tour the bus...and try their hand at doing the work of a cardiologist performing an angiogram...without the 10 or 12 years of training of course!

(Dr. Robert Percell - Trinity Health Cardiologist) "It is pretty close, almost exactly, what a patient would undergo and what the cardiologist would do."


Percell hopes the chance to see how this works will not only open our eyes to how delicate a procedure this is...but also...

(Dr. Robert Percell - Trinity Health Cardiologist) "If you show people the worst that can happen, hopefully they will get their act together earlier."


And take care of our bodies...with your Eye on Health

(Dr. Robert Percell - Trinity Health Cardiologist) "This is great..."
