Man's Life Saved By Injecting Alcohol

Description:A man's life is saved by an alcohol injection. Doctors saved a man’s life in the United Kingdom by injecting neat alcohol into his heart. The man suffered from a rare heart rhythm known as ventricular tachycardia that can be potentially fatal if the patient is not treated. The doctors used pure ethanol to induce a controlled heart attack and kill the part of his heart muscle that was causing the irregular rhythm. (1:01)
