VT is the result of improperly conducted electrical signals resulting from cardiac scarring. Research shows that cardiac SBRT can ablate these scars and return the heart to a normal rhythm when other more common interventions such as medication and catheter ablation fail. Upon completion, this project will shed light on the accuracy of current treatments, and suggest possible improvements for future cardiac SBRT treatments, which will likely improve patient outcomes and bring advancements in the field. 000041601 540__ $$fCC BY 000041601 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000041601 650__ $$aRadiosurgery$$029276 000041601 650__ $$aSurgical Mesh$$026667 000041601 650__ $$aTachycardia, Ventricular$$029754 000041601 650__ $$aCatheter Ablation$$029698 000041601 650__ $$aCatheters$$038977 000041601 650__ $$aElectrodes$$018284 000041601 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000041601 650__ $$aCicatrix$$016728 000041601 650__ $$aHeart Rate$$019945 000041601 650__ $$aArrhythmias, Cardiac$$015069 000041601 650__ $$aCardiac Conduction System Disease$$012452 000041601 6531_ $$amyocardial scarring 000041601 6531_ $$acardiac stereotactic body radiation therapy 000041601 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000041601 692__ $$aDepartment of Radiation Medicine$$041445 000041601 7001_ $$aCohen, Ethan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041601 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2023 000041601 8564_ $$92d7eb382-e809-4168-9cef-a86af22c0be7$$s163060$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/41601/files/ResearchWeek.2023.Cohen.Ethan.pdf 000041601 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-08-18
