METHODS FOR TREATING ABNORMAL ATRIAL OR VENTRICULAR ACTIVITY

摘要

The described method of treatment relates to the field of cardiovascular disease, and is a cure for various forms of heart fibrillation. The method consists of sectioning the heart into independent conduction zones (50, 20, 30) such that electrical communication between the zones is terminated. The communication between the zones is then reestablished in such a manner as to restore normal heart rhythm, by way of a pacing mechanism, thereby eliminating the fibrillation.
