Video Summary

In the 100th segment of EP on EP, Dr. Prostowski discusses the future of electrophysiology with Dr. Silvia Priori and Dr. Douglas Packer. Silvia talks about the progress in genetic cures for syndromes by fixing mutations. However, delivery of the therapy, like using adapted viruses, still poses challenges due to potential immune reactions. Doug discusses using protons for ablations without catheters, targeting specific areas in the heart to avoid damage. He emphasizes the need to improve precision in identifying treatment sites and avoiding harming healthy tissue. Both agree on the exciting advancements in gene therapy and regenerative medicine, foreseeing a promising future in the field.
