Why the study?
Long-term arrhythmia-free survival after catheter ablation for AF remains suboptimal, and the effects of exercise on post-ablation AF recurrence have not been elucidated.
Does participation in at least 90 minutes of moderate intensity exercise weekly reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients who underwent first-time catheter ablation?
Does participation in at least 90 minutes of moderate intensity exercise weekly reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients who underwent first-time catheter ablation?
Engaging in at least 90 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly is associated with a lower risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence following first-time catheter ablation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support moderate exercise counseling post-AF ablation; extends observational data but leaves causality open pending RCTs.
