New heart-rhythm fix after surgery: gentler shocks, faster recovery?
NCT ID NCT04804748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new way to treat an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that can happen after heart surgery. It uses low-energy electrical shocks and special pacing to try to restore a normal rhythm. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective, and if it helps patients spend less time in the ICU. About 450 adults having planned heart surgery will take part.
