Study Summary
This research has two main specific aims. First, a commercially-available stimulator will be utilized to assess the effect of low-level electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation on atrial fibrillation (AF) inducibility in patients with paroxysmal AF presenting for catheter ablation as compared to sham stimulation. We hypothesize a reduction in AF inducibility in patients treated with EMF stimulation. Second, we aim to assess for the effect of low-level EMF on level of systemic inflammatory mediators. We hypothesize a reduction in the level of the inflammatory mediator tissue necrosis factor (TNF)-α in patients treated with EMF stimulation as compared to sham stimulation. The long-term objective of this research is to develop low-level EMF as a therapeutic alternative for patients with AF, and this research will help to determine the efficacy of low-level pulsed EMF in this regard.
