You may not recognize the term GERD but you may know some of its symptoms. GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease is commonly known as "acid reflux." Once this chronic condition is triggered, it's likely to be a lifelong problem. A new procedure available at Culpeper Regional Hospital can help diagnose this condition safely and accurately.^ The Medtronic BRAVO™ pH Monitoring System is a tiny radio-transmitting capsule that monitors acid levels in the esophagus. Once in place, the capsule transmits data up to 48 hours to a pager-sized receiver worn on a belt. The capsule is disposable and is passed naturally within a few days. "The BRAVO™ system is a much more comfortable way to diagnose GERD," says Elizabeth Bush, MD, gastroenterologist. "The capsules can give patients accurate diagnoses without restricting their daily routines." If you're seeking relief from your severe, persistent heartburn, call Dr. Bush at 540-825-4004, or our Physician Referral Line, 540-829-5707.
