Presenting authorBjarne NesCross-Cutting Cardiology · Norwegian Directorate of HealthBjarne Martens Nes is a researcher at the Cardiac Exercise Research Group in the Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. He holds a PhD in Clinical Medicine from NTNU and a Master's degree in Human Movement Science (2008). His work focuses on epidemiology of physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiovascular outcomes, including projects using HUNT Study data and the NEXAF trial.
Overview
No practice change until results available; leaves open exercise training's role in non-permanent AF.
Key result
Long-term exercise training in patients with non-permanent atrial fibrillation is currently being evaluated in a late-breaking trial with results pending.
Discussion
Expert reaction lands here the moment NEXAF reports.
Key Points
- Long-term exercise training is evaluated for its effects on arrhythmia burden in individuals diagnosed with non-permanent atrial fibrillation.
- Clinical trial assessment was designed for presentation in the Hot Line 8 session at ESC Congress 2026 to evaluate exercise training regimes.
- Results pending from this late-breaking trial may clarify the therapeutic role of structured physical training in atrial fibrillation management.
