Is there a heart wrapping surgery  that controls the electrical circuits from going off?
Patient: I was diagnosed with heart disease in 2005.  The doctors found a scar in the right chambler of my heart which causes my electrical circuits to fire off and which causes me to have VT.  I have had two surgeries and neither worked.  I am now implanted with a ICD and I am on several medications.  I have gained over 50 to 60 pounds because of depression and other circumstances.  I heard of a new procedure on television where there is something that you can wrap the heart with and it controls the electrical circuits from going off.  Is there such a thing and do you think I cold find out more about it.  Any help or advice will definitely be appreciated.  Thanks from  YYYY@YYYY Doctor: Hi!, I am very sorry to hear your Cardiac status.It looks like you have undergone the best possible modality of treatment till date, I could suggest you to review with cardiologist regarding optimising your medications - One thing is that Depression or Anxity itself will trigour the arrhythmias - so it would be of great benifit if you can practise some Yoga / Meditations.Regarding the procedure you are talking about - its an arteficial polymer which id covered arround the heart, its just to reduce size of heart in case of Dilated Cardiomyopathy.Other Procedures would be - Electrophysiologic study (EP Study) & Radiofrequency ablation (RF Ablation).
