Heart assist and rehab for people with atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a gentle heart-assist device (EECP) combined with a structured exercise and education program (cardiac rehab) can improve health for people with atrial fibrillation. It may help strengthen your heart and reduce symptoms without drugs or surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) that comes and goes or stays
- Your heart condition is stable enough to take part in exercise therapy and EECP treatments
- You do not have recent serious heart problems, severe blood vessel disease, or bleeding risks

This study tests if starting a supervised exercise program can help older adults with both atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure called HFpEF feel better and have a better quality of life. You'll be asked to join exercise sessions and have regular check-ins to see how you're doing.
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 study tests whether a short exercise and education program before a first-time ablation for atrial fibrillation improves your recovery and heart fitness. It's for people with mild or no heart failure symptoms and a well-pumping heart.
This trial uses a procedure called electrical cardioversion (a controlled shock to restore a normal heart rhythm) to see if treating atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter can improve symptoms in people with heart failure. The goal is to find out if fixing the irregular heartbeat helps you breathe better, have more energy, and feel better overall.
This study compares different treatments—pacing therapy, medications, and catheter ablation—for people who have both atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It aims to find the best way to improve your heart function and quality of life.
This trial uses an AI tool to analyze your heart's electrical signals (ECG) to better understand your risk of heart failure and how well your heart recovers after a procedure called catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. It may help guide your treatment if you have early signs of heart failure.
