Heart rhythm fix: study tests heat vs. cold to stop AFib
NCT ID NCT04111731
Summary
This study compared two common procedures used to treat a persistent abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation. One procedure uses heat (radiofrequency) and the other uses cold (cryoballoon) to electrically isolate the veins in the heart that can trigger the problem. All participants had a second procedure two months later to check if the first treatment held and to fix any spots that reconnected, aiming for a more complete and lasting result.
