Viewing Ventricular Fibrillation: Detailed 'Movies' of Deadly Heart Irregularity May Lead to New Controls

Link to News Release
In a report published in the March 5 issue of the journal Nature, an international team of medical researchers -- including a Georgia Tech physicist -- moved one step closer to understanding the causes of ventricular fibrillation through a remarkable series of high-resolution movies that clearly show how the condition disrupts the electrical signals that normally govern the heart. The unique high-speed imaging system produced for the research also revealed for the first time that ventricular fibrillation may develop in two distinct phases.
