Helping the heart to heal itself
Electrical impulses that occur naturally in the heart could one day be used to detect and repair irregular heartbeats known as arrhythmias. Pioneering research led by Daniël Pijnappels aims to replace more invasive treatments, improve patients’…Electrical impulses that occur naturally in the heart could one day be used to detect and repair irregular heartbeats known as arrhythmias.
