First-in-human trial shows promise for hard-to-treat ventricular tachycardia heart rhythms
ROCHESTER, Minn. — A first-in-human multicenter trial involving Mayo Clinic used a new ablation technique for patients with ventricular tachycardia, an abnormally rapid heart rhythm that is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death worldwide. The trial tested needle ablation using in-catheter, heated, saline-enhance d, radio frequency energy, also known as SERF, to substantially increase heat transfer, compared to conventional ablation methods. The new process produces deeper, controllable lesion scars at sites inside the heart muscle.… (Source: Mayo Clinic Research News)

How one health system is using radiation to treat heart patients who ’ve run out of options
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a common, potentially life-threatening heart arrhythmia that occurs in the organ ’s lower chambers in patients with heart disease or heart failure, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. While there are a variety of treatments, not all of them work for people suffering from the disorder.
One of the most common treatments, a cardiac catheter ablation, can fail nearly half of the time in preventing further episodes of VT. Medication is another option, but sometimes… (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care:Biotechnology headlines)
