Exercise program for long-term atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how an exercise training program affects people with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It may help improve how you feel and how well your heart and body handle activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat).
- Your heart rate at rest is controlled to 100 beats per minute or less.
- You can do an exercise test that stops because of your symptoms (not just because you can’t).
- You are age 40 or older.
- You are not already doing regular exercise more than 2 times per week.
- You can give written consent and plan to return for check-ins at about 12 weeks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a specific type of exercise called aerobic interval training (alternating between harder and easier activity) can reduce the amount of time you spend in atrial fibrillation. If you have AFib, this could help you manage your condition with exercise.
This study tests a stepwise treatment plan for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat) who also have an enlarged left atrium. It aims to see if a medication called amiodarone plus a cardioversion procedure can help restore normal rhythm.
This study tests whether a combination of catheter ablation (a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats) and a structured exercise program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with diastolic heart failure and a recent onset of persistent atrial fibrillation.
This study tests whether using a Fitbit activity tracker and a supportive exercise program helps people with AFib become more active. It may help you feel better and manage your heart rhythm.
This trial tests a step-by-step treatment plan for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) who live in Southwest China. The goal is to find a better way to manage and possibly fix this heart condition.
This study compares different ways of doing a procedure called catheter ablation to treat a type of atrial fibrillation that lasts longer than 7 days. They want to see if adding an extra step to the standard treatment helps more than just doing the standard treatment alone. If you join, you will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups.
