Exercise program for patients after atrial fibrillation ablation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effects of a structured physical exercise program on patients who have undergone catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation at least one year prior. The study aims to evaluate outcomes such as AF recurrence, heart morphology and function, physical activity levels, sleep quality, physical fitness, quality of life, and hospitalization rates. It will also explore gender differences in response to exercise. Participants will be recruited from the Arrhythmia Unit at the Hospital Clínico Universitario Lozano Blesa in Zaragoza, Spain.
