Cardiac radiotherapy induces electrical conduction reprogramming in the absence of transmural fibrosis

David M. Zhang et al.

Summary: Noninvasive cardiac radiotherapy may effectively manage ventricular tachycardia in refractory patients by reprogramming cardiac conduction without transmural fibrosis, potentially offering a new treatment strategy for arrhythmia management.

Method and Atlas to Enable Targeting for Cardiac Radioablation Employing the American Heart Association Segmented Model

Jeremy Brownstein et al.

Summary: The study provides a preliminary guide on cardiac-specific anatomy and orientation for effective communication between radiation oncologists and cardiology teams, including knowledge of cardiac anatomy, imaging techniques, and steps to rotate the heart to the cardiac-specific orientation. This guide can assist in better delineating treatment targets for cardiac radioablation.
