Cooperation between radiotherapy and cardiology: MHH experts achieve success with innovative treatment method Radiotherapy - most people think of it as the treatment of cancer. At the Hannover Medical School (MHH), radiation is now being used to help patients with cardiac arrhythmias. High-precision radiation from linear accelerators is used to treat the exact spot in the heart muscle that is responsible for the arrhythmia. The procedure is relatively new and is only carried out in a few clinics in Germany. It is suitable for patients who are very seriously ill and for whom conventional therapy methods are not sufficient.
