Exercise effects on atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether exercise can help people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm that can come and go or last for a while). You might benefit if you have this condition, are between 18 and 80, and have not been very active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes or stays for a while).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a sedentary lifestyle (not much regular physical activity).
- You are willing and able to give signed consent to participate.
- You do not have permanent (constant) AFib or other serious heart conditions like severe valve disease or heart failure.

This study tests if a specific exercise program can reduce how often atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) happens. If you have non-permanent atrial fibrillation and are willing to follow an exercise plan, this trial might help you manage your condition.
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.
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 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 looks at how taking a beta-blocker affects your resting heart rate during activity and how fit your heart and lungs are during an exercise test. It may help clarify whether the way the medication controls heart rate is linked to better exercise tolerance in people with persistent atrial fibrillation.
This trial looks at whether a special heart rhythm treatment called “ablation” works well when done during certain heart operations. It may help reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms or future abnormal rhythm episodes for people who are already having surgery.
