STOPSTORM is the acronym for “Standardized Treatment and Outcome Platform for Stereotactic Therapy Of Re-entrant Tachycardia by a Multidisciplinary consortium.”

This project focuses on the treatment of patients with ventricular tachycardia – a potentially life-threatening rapid heart rhythm – using stereotactic radiotherapy. This non-invasive, high-precision technique, already established in the treatment of various cancers, is being investigated here as a novel therapeutic approach for refractory cardiac arrhythmias.

Project coordinator PD Dr. Oliver Blanck is positive about the future: “We hope to be able to provide new impulses for closer cooperation between two previously separate medical disciplines – radiation therapy and cardiology – for the joint treatment of refractory cardiac arrhythmias."
