First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a child's quality of life changes after a procedure called transcatheter ablation, which treats abnormal heart rhythms. Researchers will ask 200 children aged 5 to 17 and their parents to fill out questionnaires about physical, emotional, social, and school functioning before and after the procedure. The goal is to see if the treatment leads to meaningful improvements in daily life.
