Double shock for A-Fib: a tiny trial that never finished

NCT ID NCT03943693

First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving two quick electric shocks instead of one is better at stopping atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who have extra risk factors like obesity or lung disease. Only 5 people took part before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see which method worked right away and caused fewer side effects like skin burns.
