Full description Many patients suffer from sudden death post heart attack. The main cause is dangerous heart rhythms. Defibrillators are an effective treatment. Working out who needs defibrillators is difficult. We plan to measure the pressure in the heart arteries at the time of heart attack, and take pictures of the heart with an MRI and electrical traces. We then plan to try and induce bad rhythms in a controlled environment to ascertain how best to predict them and reduce the rate of sudden death.
