Cardiac impact of R-wave triggered irreversible electroporation therapy

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel tumor ablative therapy technique, using electric fields to induce apoptosis in target tissues. Whether these electric pulses of high field strength can cause cardiac damage and/or ablation-induced arrhythmias is unclear. The purpose of this study was to...

Description
Summary:Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel tumor ablative therapy technique, using electric fields to induce apoptosis in target tissues. Whether these electric pulses of high field strength can cause cardiac damage and/or ablation-induced arrhythmias is unclear. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the safety of electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated IRE with regard to cardiac side effects.
