New Heart-Zapping device tested to control irregular heartbeat

NCT ID NCT05552963

Summary

This study tested a new medical device that uses electrical energy (Irreversible Electroporation or IRE) to treat a specific type of irregular heartbeat called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. It involved 142 people whose condition was not well-controlled by standard medications. The main goal was to see if the one-time procedure could effectively control their heart rhythm for a year without needing to restart antiarrhythmic drugs.
