NHS patients first in the world to benefit from gentle electric shock that calms racing heart safely NHS patients are among the first in the world to benefit from a ground-breaking treatment for a racing heartbeat.

It involves an electric probe which is fed into a vein in the thigh and then steered through the body until it reaches the heart. The Daily Mail
