Carbon Ion to Combat Heart Flicker

Abstract

Carbon ions from particle accelerator could be a protective alternative to conventional catheter treatment. Carbon ions are put into use for the treatment of cancer. These can, however, also help in heart rhythm disorder as protective alternative to heart catheter or medications. Biophysicist of GSI Helmhotz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt and Medical personnel of the university of Heidelberg as also the Mayo clinic in the USA have therefore developed a method, as they have been reported in professional magazine Scientific Reports.
