New insights into heart scar tissue could improve treatment after heart attacks
A team of researchers from the IGTP has taken a step forward in understanding the complex structure of heart scars that form after a myocardial infarction. Using a porcine model, the group found an association between specific electrical patterns and structural characteristics of the scar, offering a new approach that may guide more targeted and effective treatments for arrhythmias. The results have been published in the journal Heart Rhythm.
