Summary
This study looked at whether sending mild electrical pulses just under the skin could help people with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) feel better by keeping their heart rate under control. A total of 46 adults with symptomatic paroxysmal AF who did not respond to standard medications took part. The approach aims to manage the condition rather than cure it, and participants may still need ongoing treatment.
