Does cardiac radiotherapy induce electrical conduction reprogramming in VT patients?
Cardiac radiotherapy induces electrical conduction reprogramming, suggesting a potential mechanism and treatment strategy for arrhythmia management in VT patients.
5 expression in 1 of 1 explanted heart. On electrocardiogram (ECG), post-RT QRS durations were shortened in 13 of 19 patients and lengthened in 5 patients. Collectively, this study provides evidence for radiation-induced reprogramming of cardiac conduction as a potential treatment strategy for arrhythmia management in VT patients.
