Heart zapping study tests better way to control dangerous irregular heartbeat
NCT ID NCT03057548
Summary
This study tested whether adding an extra step to a standard heart ablation procedure helps people with persistent atrial fibrillation stay in normal rhythm longer. Researchers compared the standard procedure to a more extensive one in 110 patients to see which was better at preventing the irregular heartbeat from coming back within a year. The goal was to find a more effective way to control this condition.
