GENE AND CELL THERAPY FOR LIFE-THREATENING CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS.
Gene and cell therapies of cardiac arrhythmias are nascent fields whose raison d'etre derives from (1) the problematic state of arrhythmia treatment today (especially atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias for which drugs, devices and ablation remain more stopgaps then optimal interventions), and (2) the opportunity to learn and potentially treat and cure by exploring new technologies. The state of antiarrhythmic therapy and new directions being taken are reviewed.
