Original: Injecting Alcohol Into the Heart https:// tube.blueben.net/w/hhngk2kPgL3 fLxTGQveAfa
A medical education segment is drawing attention to the practice of injecting alcohol directly into the heart, a technique used in certain cardiac procedures such as alcohol septal ablation to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The item focuses on explaining how the procedure works and when doctors consider it appropriate.
