Heart rhythm showdown: ablation vs. shock treatment
NCT ID NCT06096246
Summary
This study compares two common treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heart rhythm. Researchers want to see if catheter ablation (a procedure that scars heart tissue to block faulty electrical signals) works better than electrical cardioversion (a controlled electric shock to reset the heart) at keeping the heart rhythm normal. About 208 adults with persistent AF will be randomly assigned to receive one of these treatments, and their heart rhythms will be monitored to see which approach is more effective at preventing the AF from returning.
