Summary

This study looked at 50 adults with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) to see if special heart scans and ECGs could predict whether the drug flecainide would help them. Researchers followed participants for 12 months, collecting data during four visits. The goal is to replace the current "trial and error" approach with a more accurate way to choose the right treatment, reducing side effects and improving quality of life.
