Doctors are using special vests to precisely diagnose abnormal heart rhythms, in the first UK tests of their kind.

Cardiologists from Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in west London say the vests have enabled them to successfully treat more patients.

They hope the technology could eventually help more people suffering from heart palpitations.

The Arrythmia Alliance described the tests as a "fantastic development".

The work is in its early stages - doctors have used the vests on 40 patients so far.
