Some great things are going on in Snellville and Eastside Medical Center is one of them. Almost every month, Eastside announces another resource for treating patients. The article below, from the Gwinnett Daily Post, covers the ribbon-cutting for Eastside’s new Electrophysiology lab. Councilman Dave Emanuel hit the nail on the head when he said that at Eastside, “we’ve got great doctors and we’ve got emerging technologies that are going to take us beyond what we have today and into the future of medicine.”

Donning blue scrubs and red hair nets, nearly a dozen non-healthcare professionals followed Dr. Niraj Sharma into Eastside Medical Center’s hybrid operating suite and electrophysiology (EP) lab, the hospital’s newest addition.

“Here you can see a 3-dimensional image of the heart, which is where we’re going to perform the ablation,” Sharma said, pointing to a large screen in front of him. “We also use the operating room to install pacemakers, which go in our sickest patients who need that regulation of the heart’s contractions.”
Though much of Sharma’s terminology went over the heads of the participants in front of him, one thing was undeniable: the new OR suite was an impressive, state-of-the-art addition to the hospital.
The lab, which brings Eastside’s technological capabilities up to par with Gwinnett Medical Center’s, was hugely important for the hospital, Eastside CEO Trent Lind said, because it’s “taking our services to a new level at Eastside.”
“Opening this lab has demonstrated Eastside’s commitment to the community to provide much-needed care,” added Grace Anderson, administrative director of cardiovascular services. “We’re now going to be able to give all the care that the community needs, and the sky’s the limit now — we’re going to soar.”
Sharma previously told the Daily Post that the lab is key to allowing all of Gwinnett County residents to receive life-saving services, instead of only residents who are close to Gwinnett Medical Center.
“What happened — and why Eastside and Gwinnett Medical are investing so much money into this sub-specialty of cardiology — is because (patients’) heart rhythm problems have always been there,” Sharma said. “They’re not new and we’ve known about them for decades, but the technology has progressed to the point that now, we can diagnose them accurately and cure them. This is one of only the few specialties where we can kind of offer a cure.”
Sharma, who helped open Gwinnett Medical’s EP lab and operating room, said Eastside’s new technology is just as advanced.
It combines advanced imaging capability with a fully functioning operating suite, which makes procedures such as installing the first Bluetooth pacemaker in a patient in north Georgia possible.
“If somebody comes in with an abnormal heart rhythm — a short circuit — their heart rate is just racing away,” Sharma said. “Once we control their heart rate with medications, we’ve got to figure out where the abnormality is and then destroy it.”
Snellville City Councilman Dave Emmanuel said Wednesday that though he’s “really happy” that Eastside exists in the first place, “what makes (him) even more ecstatic” is that the hospital “keeps raising the bar.”
“We have better care here than we do at a lot of other hospitals,” Emmanuel said. “We’ve got a great facility, we’ve got great doctors and we’ve got emerging technologies that are going to take us beyond what we have today and into the future of medicine. I think it’s so important for people to be able to look out and say, ‘if I want really class A care, I don’t have to go to downtown Atlanta; I can go right here to Eastside.’”
