Key result
Strenuous physical exercise may favor the development of atrial fibrillation, exhibiting a J-shaped relationship where low-to-moderate activity is protective but high-intensity training increases risk.
Why the study?
Does strenuous physical exercise increase the risk of atrial fibrillation compared to moderate exercise or inactivity?
Population
Individuals performing physical activity, including endurance athletes and the general population

While moderate exercise protects against cardiovascular disease, strenuous endurance exercise is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, highlighting a J-shaped dose-response relationship.

While moderate exercise protects against cardiovascular disease, strenuous endurance exercise is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, highlighting a J-shaped dose-response relationship.
Seccia et al. (2018) conducted an editorial in Atrial fibrillation. Physical exercise was evaluated. Strenuous physical exercise may favor the development of atrial fibrillation, exhibiting a J-shaped relationship where low-to-moderate activity is protective but high-intensity training increases risk.
