Those with arrhythmia have an electrical system which no longer maintains a regular heartbeat. A sudden frequent burst of a rapid heartbeat can result in sudden death. In fact, an estimated 320,000 Americans die of arrhythmia each year.
Exciting New Arrhythmia Treatment News!
Researchers at the Washington University in St. Louis have published a study in the New England Journal of Medicine about an experimental treatment that shows promise. Short bursts of radiation aimed at the heart help obliterate the cells of the heart that cause an electrical malfunction. The treatment requires weeks to take full effect but it appears to be more effective than ablation.
Research shows that in the year after ongoing radiation treatment, those who participated in the study had very few and even no episodes of tachycardia.
This is a life-changing development and we congratulate the physicians at Washington University in St. Louis.
