Description
Nikola Kozhuharov and Haran Burri weigh two opposed fixes for a racing, uneven heartbeat paired with a weak heart pump in a 2026 review. One fix burns the veins that spark the bad rhythm, aiming to bring back a normal beat. The other cuts the node that passes beats down and fits a pacer that keeps the lower heart on a steady rate.
Trials show the burn fix can lift pump strength and ease symptoms in well-picked patients. Yet in scarred, stretched upper hearts the bad rhythm tends to return and call for repeat work. The pace-and-cut route skips rhythm repair but steadies every beat. Choice, the authors say, turns on the patient and the heart's state.
