Novel 3D-printed device for measuring cardiac rhythm

A research team at Stanford University (CA, US) is working on 3D printing cardiac devices to measure cardiac rhythm and identify areas for treatment in patients with, or at risk of developing atrial fibrillation. A team of researchers at Stanford University (CA, US) is investigating novel methods for measuring electricity in the heart. Utilizing 3D printed tools, the team are designing cardiac-mapping catheters and developing devices which may eventually help patients suffering with common cardiac conditions. The investigation is focused on atrial fibrillation, a heart disorder often characterized by abnormal heart rhythm, which results in a disruption of blood flow...
