Key result
Exercise rehabilitation improves exercise capacity and likely quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation, though large randomized controlled trials are currently lacking.
Why the study?
There are no large randomized exercise training trials in patients with AF, with available data limited to single-site trials, secondary analyses, and observational studies.

Supports AF-specific rehab protocols with adjusted targets; extends RCT evidence on exercise limitations to persistent AF management.
Does exercise rehabilitation improve exercise capacity and symptoms in patients with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation?
Exercise rehabilitation is recommended to improve exercise capacity and potentially quality of life in patients with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation, highlighting a need for large randomized trials.
Keteyian et al. (2019) conducted a review in Atrial fibrillation. Exercise testing and rehabilitation was evaluated. Exercise rehabilitation improves exercise capacity and likely quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation, though large randomized controlled trials are currently lacking.
