Now the number of heart patients is increasing rapidly in the country. However, at such a time, experts have tried various ways to solve it. In a recent research, new possibilities have been revealed. As per the experts, heart disease can be treated using the cancer treatment techniques.
Washington University doctors conducted a unique experiment. They treated a dangerous heart disease with the radiation therapy used to treat cancer. However, this method helped in improvement of heart conditions. It even reduces the amount of cholesterol in the heart. However, earlier this radiation treatment method was considered harmful to the heart. But now it has been proved to be very beneficial for heart patients.
Doctors at the University of Washington have applied this treatment to heart patients. A dangerous heart condition such as ventricular tachycardia was treated with radiation therapy that is used in cancer treatment. Then doctors tested it on some other heart patients and also tested it on mice. From that they found that low dose radiation can help in the treatment of various types of heart disease.
So, more research needs to be done before implementing this treatment method permanently. But research suggests that the effects of this treatment may be different and beneficial in heart patients. According to the research published in the medical journal, low-dose radiation therapy improves heart health somewhat.
