Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David's Medical Center first in U.S. to use FDA-approved novel wireless system to treat cardiac arrhythmias Français
"This technology marks a significant advancement in how we care for patients with heart rhythm disorders—particularly those who previously had few viable cardiac resynchronization therapy treatment options," said Andrea Natale, M.D., F.H.R.S., F.A.C.C., F.E.S.C., cardiac electrophysiologist and executive medical director of TCAI. "At the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute, our commitment is to bring the most advanced, evidence-based therapies to patients worldwide, and as a result of Dr. Canby's leadership, we successfully delivered on that promise."
The system is the first-ever to stimulate the heart muscle electrically via a small, leadless device—about the size of a grain of rice—that is implanted inside tissue of the left ventricle, the heart's primary pumping chamber. The device converts ultrasound energy into electrical pulses, restoring the heart's normal rhythm and pumping efficiency.
Traditional cardiac resynchronization therapies involve leads—thin and soft insulated wires about the size of a spaghetti noodle. This left ventricular endocardial pacing device provides a direct approach, which enables more flexible placement and expands access to those who were previously considered untreatable.
TCAI is a state-of-the-art Electrophysiology Center that includes six labs equipped with advanced technology where a group of esteemed cardiac electrophysiologists—led by Dr. Natale, a world-renowned expert in the field—perform a high volume of the most complex electrophysiology procedures.

BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) records 10,000 members
More Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) are expected to address growing demand for mental health services in BC VICTORIA, BC , July 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Memberships to the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) have crossed 10,000, marking a significant step towards addressing the growing demand for mental health services in the province. "Access to mental health care can change lives, and it starts with people who care deeply," said Amna Shah , Parliamentary Secretary for Mental Health and Addictions. "Reaching 10,000 members is a powerful milestone for the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and a reflection of their commitment to walking alongside people on their healing journeys. Thank you for the care, strength, and hope you bring to communities across the province." Currently, the association's Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs) comprise 90% of clinical counsellors and psychotherapists in BC, making it the largest association for the profession. Since its formation in 1988, the association has advocated for improved public access to mental health care and enhanced public protection. To earn the title of Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), members must meet rigorous academic, clinical, and professional standards and commit to upholding BCACC's standards of practice and code of ethics. BCACC members also include over 1,000 student members. BCACC CEO, Michael Radano says "This milestone reflects the strong and growing professional community of psychotherapists in BC, and that clinical counselling and psychotherapy is a trusted and essential service for British Columbians. We hope that this continued growth helps to make mental health services more accessible in BC. I would like to congratulate the members, our board, and staff on this achievement. We look forward to collaborating with partner associations, organisations, and governments and lending our expertise as we move towards regulation" A rising demand for mental health services 5.7 million people call British Columbia home. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), by age 40, 50% of the population will have experienced a mental illness, and 1 in 5 experience mental health problems annually. The incidence of mental health issues has also been rising, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. It is estimated that approximately 1.25 million British Columbians may seek psychotherapy or clinical counselling annually. Many individuals face long wait times, cost restrictions, and insufficient coverage. The addition of more RCCs is expected to bridge this gap and address the growing demand for quality mental health services. The BCACC engages its membership to educate the public on mental health through free public presentations called 'Matters of the Mind' on a variety of topics aimed at increasing knowledge and awareness. Additionally, BCACC's 'Find a Counsellor' tool allows the public to find a suitable clinician by filtering for modality, gender, cultural background, specializations, availability, session style, and more. The tool currently records approximately 125,000 visits a year. In addition, the association maintains a public registry, publishes public notifications, and has a detailed inquiry process to protect the public and maintain accountability. The BCACC is currently preparing for its annual conference scheduled from September 19-20, 2025 in Vancouver. BCACC: The BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) is a not-for-profit provincial professional association founded in 1988 with more than 10,000 members.
