METHOD TO CONTROL VENTRICULAR RATE IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION PATIENTS

摘要

A method is disclosed to control the ventricular rate in a patients heart, particularly for treating atrial fibrillation or preventing tachyarrhythmia. The patients atrioventricular nodal area is injected with autologous fibroblast cells and/or bipolymers to create a barrier to slow the electrical conduction from the fibrillating atria to the ventricles.
