In the UK, heart rhythms affect around two million people and can cause sudden death.
A re-useable heart vest developed by researchers from University College London (UCL) could potentially be used to predict and identify people who are at risk of sudden cardiac death.
The study found that the electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) vest could benefit standard care today because of its re-usability and time efficiency.
Electric signals cause the heart to contract, which regulates its heartbeat. When electrical signals, which cause the heart to contract and regulate the heartbeat, are disrupted, heart rhythm disorders can occur…
