Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions, methods, and devices for preventing irregular electromechanical waves in the myocardium that lead to pathological conditions as arrhythmia. In particular, the invention relates to compositions and methods to increase the conductivity of the myocardium to restore an impairment of the electrical conduction system of the heart. To that end substances with high conductivity, as carbon nanotube suspensions or metal nanowire suspensions, are injected in the myocardium at closely adjacent locations on circular or open lines or are introduced in patches of cardiomyocytes that are subsequently placed on the myocardium.
