First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study looks at two different treatments for older adults (75 and older) with a type of irregular heartbeat called persistent atrial fibrillation. One treatment uses a pacemaker plus a procedure to block the heart's electrical signal, while the other uses a procedure to isolate the veins that trigger the irregular rhythm. The goal is to see which approach reduces hospital stays and improves quality of life.
