Prolotherapy is an injection technique
created to assist strengthening the
fibrous tissue around the circumference of the joint.
In some diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy in Doberman Pinschers or ARVC in boxers, cardiac muscle cells are replaced by
fibrous (scar)
tissue, fat, or fibro - fatty
tissue, which
creates an ideal environment to disrupt the normal electrical stimulation of the heart and cause arrhythmias particularly ventricular tachycardia.
