Zapping nerves to calm chaotic hearts
NCT ID NCT04529941
Summary
This study tested whether sending mild electrical signals under the skin could help control atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart rhythm disorder. Researchers implanted a small wire in the chest of 46 adults with symptomatic AFib that didn't respond well to standard medications. Half received the electrical stimulation for two weeks while the other half did not, to compare if it reduced AFib episodes and improved quality of life.
