Heart attack: They have… a band-aid for the hearts that have suffered damage.

Australian and British researchers have created a flexible patch of polymeric material, which facilitates the electrical impulses of the heart after a heart attack.
The patch – a band-aid for a heart attack, which so far has been tested only in animals, it adheres easily on the heart without sutures and lasts for a long time, over two weeks.
Scientists at the University of New South Wales (School of Science and Engineering of Materials) and the Imperial College of London (Department of Materials Engineering Faculty), led by the teachers damn you Μαγουάντ and Molly Stevens, respectively, made the relevant publication in the journal “Science Advances”.
Dr Damia Mawad holds the flexible “band-aid” for the heart, which can enhances the heart rate with electrical pulses
The attack creates scars in the heart, that slow down and disrupt the transmission of electrical impulses in the heart, resulting in a possible fatal disruption of the rhythm. The band-aid, which is made of a material good conductor of electricity, is facing this problem of a potentially dangerous arrhythmia.
The patch – a band-aid is not harmful to the heart, as it moves to the rhythm of the. At present, however, the investigation is at an early stage and is not yet ready for human testing.
