One second, one heartbeat. That's what is needed for a new, noninvasive functional imaging technology, to record data for locating the source in the heart of a dangerous cardiac arrhythmia called ventricular tachycardia (VT). Researchers in biomedical engineering and medicine report that the technique would far more quickly find the source and type of VT, saving hours of mapping.
