Exploring Potential New Treatment for Ventricular Tachycardia

DAIC

If VT is not treated, it can lead to cardiac arrest, which is when the heart stops beating. In fact, VT is the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, ablation also destroys healthy heart tissue in the process. Current ablation procedures destroy heart tissue and tend to worsen heart function.
