First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study aims to find out if restoring a normal heart rhythm through a procedure called cardioversion truly improves quality of life for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). One hundred adults with AF will be randomly assigned to receive either real cardioversion or a sham (fake) procedure, and neither they nor their doctors will know which they received. By comparing how both groups feel weeks later, researchers hope to clarify whether the procedure itself—not just the expectation of improvement—makes a meaningful difference in daily symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath.
