摘要：Some embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to methods of improving

electrical conduction across an impaired region of a tissue (e.g., myocardial tissue) byapplying an electrically conductive material (e.g., carbon nanotube fibers) across theimpaired region. The electrically conductive materials can become associated with non-impaired regions of the tissue on opposite sides of the impaired region by suturing. Suchmethods can also be utilized to treat or prevent cardiac arrhythmia in a subject (e.g.,ventricular arrhythmia). Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain toelectrical wirings that include carbon nanotubes, such as carbon nanotube fibers. Suchelectrical wirings can be used to transmit electrical signals to a tissue or sense electricalsignals from the tissue. In some embodiments, the present disclosure also pertains tosuture threads that include carbon nanotubes, such as carbon nanotube fibers.
