Heart Rhythm Society (HRS)

The Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) is the primary U.S. medical society for electrophysiology (EP). The organization promotes education and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients, including setting policy guidelines and offering expert consensus.

Findings from the SOLVE-CRT study were presented to attendees at Heart Rhythm 2023. "Our results showed the study was safe, effective and feasible," Singh said. 

Phillip Cuculich MD explains Noninvasive Cardiac Radiotherapy ablation for ventricular tachycardia as a late-breaking study at HRS 2023. #HRS2023

Radiotherapy VT ablation linked to encouraging 5-year outcomes

"The goal is to treat patients with life-threatening VT in a safer, faster and better way," one researcher explained.
