Overview

May inform tailored exercise counseling for AF risk; leaves open prospective validation of intensity thresholds.

Structured PICO

What is the relationship between different intensities of physical activity and the risk of atrial fibrillation?

Population

General population and competitive athletes, particularly endurance athletes and patients younger than 60 years with 'lone atrial fibrillation'

Exposure

Physical activity (moderate vs. vigorous exercise)

Outcome

Risk of atrial fibrillation and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms

This review highlights the complex relationship between exercise and atrial fibrillation, contrasting the protective effects of moderate activity with the potential risks of vigorous endurance exercise.
