Laser Modification of the Myocardium for the Treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias: Background, Current Results, and Future Possibilities

  • Chapter
Lasers in Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery: Fundamentals and Techniques

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 103))

Abstract

The impetus for the development of new treatment techniques, pharmacological or nonpharmacological, derives from an inner dissatisfaction with less than perfect results. This is a goal that we strive for, but that may never be achieved. Nevertheless, it is important to explore the possibilities inherent in new technologies in pursuit of this goal. The history of medicine is replete with numerous examples of new pharmacological agents supplanting existing ones, new technologies replacing the old, and new operative procedures expanding the horizon of potential cures for human disease. This chapter deals with the possibilities and limitations inherent in laser technology for the ablation of cardiac arrhythmias.
