Why the study?
Does intense ultrasound energy produce cardiac pacing in a porcine model?
Does intense ultrasound energy produce cardiac pacing in a porcine model?
Intense ultrasound energy can successfully produce cardiac pacing in a porcine model, likely due to radiation pressure and myocyte stretch sensitivity.
