Light beam replaces electric shocks

Heart Rhythm disorder- irregular heartbeat that can cause sudden cardiac death within minutes.
Current remedy involves devices that deliver pulses of electricity that are acutely painful and can damage heart tissue.
Researchers at John Hopkins University and Bonn University have shown that beams of light could replace electric shocks in patients suffering from a deadly heart rhythm disorder. This technique will be a safer and gentler remedy for patients in which the normal functioning of the heart will be restored in a gentle and painless manner.
