I read an article about the folks at Washington University in St. Louis using targeted low dose radiation to treat ventricular arrhythmia. Any update on this new procedure? Can it be used in the future to treat AFIB? I think they are currently only using it on older patients until they have more data on the impact of targeting the heart with low dose radiation. https://outlook.wustl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Outlook_Summer2018.pdf
