Abstract:
Methods and kits for treating a cardiac arrhythmia using a platelet rich plasma (PRP) composition are provided. Any type of arrhythmia may be treated using the PRP composition. The PRP composition may comprise PRP developed using blood collected from a patient suffering the cardiac arrhythmia. The PRP composition may be buffered to a physiological pH and may include one or more anti-arrhythmic agents, anti-coagulants, or other drugs. The PRP composition may be delivered using a nebulizer, minimally invasively, or surgically. In some embodiments, the PRP composition may be coated on one or more medical devices. The PRP composition may be delivered to an identified portion of the electrical conduction system of the heart affected and/or causing the arrhythmia to occur.
