We’re proud to share that 𝐃𝐫. 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞, 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫, was featured this morning on 𝐖𝐀𝐅𝐁-𝐓𝐕 discussing 𝐀𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐀𝐅𝐢𝐛) and new treatment options available right here in Baton Rouge.

👉 AFib is the 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞, currently affecting over 5 million Americans, with numbers expected to more than double by 2030.
👉 Traditional treatment often involves lifelong use of blood thinners, but new procedures like the 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 offer an alternative that can reduce stroke risk without long-term medication.
✨ Very soon, Rouge General Medical Center will celebrate its 𝟓𝟎𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐞 — a major milestone in advancing heart care in our community.

Dr. LaMotte and our team remain committed to providing innovative treatments and helping patients live healthier, longer lives.

💬 Interested in learning if you might be a candidate for the Watchman procedure? Call us today to schedule a consultation.

🌟 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞🌟
At Baton Rouge Cardiology Center, compassion is part of the care we provide every day — and sometimes it looks like simply being there when it matters.

A patient's daughter (who also happens to be one of our own team members, Ellen) sent a heartfelt thank-you to Annette:

“My mother came in for her PET scan, and it was raining when she finished. Annette went out in the rain☔, brought her car to the loading area, and helped her get situated. My mom couldn’t praise her enough for the kindness she showed. From our whole family — thank you, Annette.”

Annette, your thoughtfulness didn’t go unnoticed. 🌈 Thank you for going above and beyond — this is what makes our team so special. 💙
