  1. This is awesome news.

    Gene therapy has been around for many years, but early attempts at it were largely unsuccessful.

    It now looks like it may be a treatment whose time has finally come.

    Obviously this is based on just 1 patient, and we need not only more patients but also much longer follow-up to be sure how useful it will be, but still, this looks really promising.

  2. It looks like there is a promising nasal spray calcium channel blocker that is highly effective at stopping SVT incidents without adverse side effects. In double-blind RCT trials at present, I think.
