Controlling-heart-waves-with-light

2015 21 Oct

A team of researchers from Stony Brook University and Oxford University have found a way to control the electrical waves of the heart - using light. The findings are published in Nature Photonics.   The rhythm of the heart is regulated by electrical waves. If this rhythm goes awry, it may result in potentially fatal arrhythmia. Currently, there...Read more

Predicting-arrhythmias-could-help-prevent-them

2015 02 Oct

Researchers at McGill University have discovered a way of predicting cardiac arrhythmias before they even occur. The finding could lead to an improved cardiac device that is designed to detect and prevent arrhythmias.  The researchers focused on a potentially fatal form of arrhythmia occurring in a condition, called the long QT syndrome, which runs...Read more
