Spiral wave teleportation theory offers new path to defibrillate hearts, terminate arrhythmias - Science Daily

Researchers offer a new method to disrupt spiral waves that uses less energy and that may be less painful than traditional defibrillation.

A spiral wave of electrical activity in the heart can cause catastrophic consequences. One spiral wave creates tachycardia -- a heart rate that's too fast -- and multiple spirals cause a state of dis… [+3308 chars]
