High-precision radiation can significantly reduce life-threatening arrhythmias

High-precision radiation therapy can significantly reduce the number of arrhythmia episodes in critically ill patients with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. This is demonstrated by the first large-scale prospective European registry study on so-called stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR), the results of which have now been published in the European Heart Journal. The European STOPSTORM consortium is led by the University of Kiel (CAU) and the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH).
