Pig-heart tests suggest injectable hydrogel could guide a more natural rhythm
Texas Heart Institute said pig-heart experiments suggested pacing through an injected hydrogel could more closely resemble natural heart conduction. UT Austin said the work targets reentrant ventricular arrhythmias linked to sudden cardiac death, though human use is still far off.
TLDR
Pig-heart experiments described by Texas Heart Institute suggest an injected hydrogel could guide the heart toward a more physiologic rhythm or conduction pattern. UT Austin said the technology is being developed for reentrant ventricular arrhythmias linked to sudden cardiac death, but it remains far from use in humans.
