Funded Activity Summary

Endocardial visualisation is a new technique in which a catheter is used to look at the internal surface of the heart without the need for surgery. We will use the visualisation catheter to find a better way of placing small burns within the heart to stop atrial fibrillation (one of the most common heart diseases). We will also use the visualisation catheter to find a better way of locating the scarred areas of the heart responsible for ventricular tachycardia (another common heart disease).
