Summary
This study tested whether sending mild electrical pulses just under the skin could improve symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm problem. 46 adults with symptomatic paroxysmal AF who did not respond to standard medications took part. The goal was to see if this nerve stimulation could lower the amount of time spent in AF and keep the heart rate under control.
