The news is that laser surgery has been used with some success in treating heart rhythm disorders in humans and pigs, people wonder if this is the new answer and the best for irregular heartbeats.
Laser surgery the news is not FDA approved and still needs some testing before it is half "approved" or even desirable treatment. Although he accepted only in cases where other less invasive treatments have not worked, is acceptable.
EssentiallyThe process consists of a catheter inside a laser is inserted into the femoral artery and threaded into the heart and allows the use of an endoscope, the surgeon visually identify and target the cells responsible for the misfiring "explosion" on arrhythmia a laser, with what is said to be 100% accurate. So far, this process was conducted by X-rays taken before and not as precise.
Although the procedure with 27 patients who workedconclusively with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) were diagnosed and treated unsuccessfully with at least one medication. This treatment has been successfully tested on pigs. The approval of a procedure is absolutely necessary before starting to be used in the rule, and even if a catheter and the endoscopic procedure is less invasive than traditional surgery is still invasive and carries some risks.
In many cases, irregular heartbeat is not too many symptoms with the exceptionfor "palpitations". If symptoms then usually, a drug therapy as a less invasive treatment is attempted. Arrhythmia episodes that can be used in minimally disruptive as a beat in his chest, which rapidly dissolves or that occurs when the person is stressed, or can interfere and cause a feeling of faintness or even loss of consciousness occur.
Atrial fibrillation can occur in conjunction with other risk factors or diseases or in younger peopleno other abnormalities or diseases. 2.2 million U.S. citizens currently have this type of heart rhythm disorders. In the elderly, atrial fibrillation is responsible for as much as 15% of all ischemic strokes.
Currently, the usual means for treating heart rhythm disorders is important in screening for heart disease, the cause of the problem. From there, if your symptoms are bothersome or life-threatening, drug therapies are tested. If the results are not seen then the methods are different,depends on the severity of the consequences and if a regular heart rhythm can be resumed without any help.
Some people use drug therapies and also have a "scoop" emergency, which administer a shock to the heart to return to a normal rhythm. In other cases, where the problem is severe, a cardiac pacemaker can be used with a shock to stop ventricular fibrillation, thus helping to restore a normal rhythm.
However, laser surgery certainly promising in the treatment of disorders of heart rhythmSometimes you will still need further testing and approval by the FDA will be available. In severe cases, heart disease where you can find out more, certainly could be a viable alternative to approaches heroic irregular heartbeats.
