Dr. Bargas becomes first OKC physician
to implant Abbott loop recorder in-office
Bargas Wellness’s approach to Integrative Cardiology includes use of cutting edge technology
Recently Dr. Bargas performed the first in-office implant of the Abbott loop recorder, which is a small device inserted under the skin of the chest wall to record heart rhythms and send data directly to the physician via cell phone. This cutting-edge device lasts three to four years and is a valuable tool in treating patients who suffer from episodic abnormal heart rhythms or who faint for unclear reasons. Until recently the procedure could only be done in a hospital setting or surgical center.
“This is a critical technological advancement that will allow me to better monitor and treat my Integrative Cardiology patients without the hassle of going to the hospital for the procedure,” said Dr. Bargas. “Functional Medicine is focused on finding the root cause of disease, and using advanced technologies to collect data is a vital part of how we practice medicine here at Bargas Wellness.”
