Project description
Cardiac arrhythmias are common in horses and may pose a risk to horse and rider. Treatment is possible but very often the arrhythmia recurs. Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that not only treats the arrhythmia but also drastically reduces recurrence risk. The aim of this project is to develop a safe and efficient horse-adapted catheter ablation technique.
