Stereotaxis is a new cardiac technology offered at the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Heart Hospital. This revolutionary system will help our physicians correct irregular heartbeats and other cardiac issues with greater precision and safety. Stereotaxis uses large, computer-guided, precision magnets and medical imaging to place special heart catheters. This is especially important for complex electrical heart disturbances better known as irregular heartbeats or "arrhythmias."

Now, magnetically guided catheters move gently
and precisely through delicate areas of the heart.

This new life-saving technology is located in a new electrophysiology (EP) heart lab in the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Heart Hospital.

Thanks to Stereotaxis technology, doctors at the Kettering Medical Center now have access to new care options for heart disease. We're providing an innovation in cardiology — a gentler way of navigating one of the most delicate organs in the human body. By combining the benefits of precise, computer-aided magnetic guidance with gentle catheter contact, we can now navigate and touch hearts in a softer, more accurate way than ever before.

Stereotaxis technology offers an innovation in cardiovascular care. It allows us to reach remote areas of the heart that have been difficult, if not impossible, to access before. In some cases, we can now care for patients who would otherwise be referred to more invasive coronary artery bypass surgery. With this system, we now have the potential to help patients suffering from irregular heartbeats who would otherwise have to rely on drug therapy alone, which may only partly address their symptoms.
