Summary

This study aimed to find out how many people experience short-term and long-term pain after a specific type of heart surgery called one-stage hybrid arrhythmia ablation. Researchers surveyed patients who had the procedure at UZ Brussels to see what factors, like medications or genetics, might be linked to ongoing pain. The study was stopped early, but it helps gather information to improve future care.
