Injecting Alcohol Into the Heart

Original: Injecting Alcohol Into the Heart https:// tube.blueben.net/w/hhngk2kPgL3 fLxTGQveAfa

A medical education item about alcohol septal ablation, a procedure in which pure alcohol is injected into a coronary artery to destroy excess heart muscle in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The deliberately counterintuitive idea of using alcohol, normally harmful to the heart, as a treatment is drawing attention among readers of medical content.

Why now: The surprising idea that alcohol can be used therapeutically inside the heart makes people curious and share it.
