Optogenetic manipulation of anatomical re-entry by light-guided generation of a reversible local conduction block

Conclusions</div>Anatomical re-entry in ventricular tissue can be manipulated by optogenetic induction of a local and reversible conduction block in the re-entrant pathway, allowing effective re-entry termination. These results provide distinctively new mechanistic insight into re-entry termination and a novel perspective for cardiac arrhythmia management.</span>
