The Silent Killer: He cancer and did not be a burden his family. That's he wrote on the he left for grandmother and mother. Morris Animal Foundation-funded researchers have developed a new treatment for dogs with a rare, but life-threatening, arrhythmia caused by atrioventricular accessory pathways (APs). The minimally invasive technique, which uses radiofrequencies, is modified from a human cardiology procedure and has a more than 95 percent success rate in treating dogs with this type of arrhythmia. The technique, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), was adapted by Dr. Kathy N. Wright and her colleagues at MedVet, a family of emergency and specialty veterinary hospitals heart arrhythmia in dogs around the United States.

He cancer and did not be a burden his family. That's he wrote on the he left for grandmother and mother. Artificial intelligence could detect a life-threatening heart arrhythmia in just 10 seconds, a new study claims. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic say AI was able to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib) during an electrocardiogram (EKG), even if the heart was beating normally during the time of the test. This means that a patient with the condition may not be diagnosed for years unless they are consistently monitored. The team says the technology will increase both the speed and accuracy of diagnosis so physicians can focus on fatal arrhythmia making sure their patients receive the proper care.
