Full description Deadly heart rhythm problems called ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are caused by scars in the heart, commonly in patients with reduced heart function such as after a heart attack. Patients at risk are implanted defibrillators that save lives but do not prevent VA, leading to traumatising recurrent device shocks. The project aims to develop a system using microwaves to effectively destroy scars in the heart causing VA to improve the quality of life and longevity for many patients with heart disease.
