Exercise and Fitbit for Afib patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older.
- You have a type of AFib that comes and goes (called paroxysmal AFib).
- Your AFib symptoms are moderate (based on a specific scale your doctor can check).
- You currently do between 30 and 120 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity each week (like brisk walking).
- You have not had a heart procedure or been in the hospital for heart failure in the last 3 months.
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator, and your heart pumping function is normal (checked by an echo).

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 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 looks at early changes in the heart related to atrial fibrillation (AF) using health data and biomarkers. It aims to find better ways to predict or understand AF, especially around procedures like ablation or cardioversion.
This study uses a smartphone app and activity tracker to help people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and a higher body weight manage their condition through tailored exercise guidance.
This study tests a new way to check and treat sleep apnea in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). If you have AF and symptoms, you may be able to join and get sleep tracking and treatment that could help both your heart and sleep.
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.
