Pre-ablation exercise program for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Between 18 and 70 years old
- Getting your first catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
- Heart failure symptoms are mild or you have none at all (NYHA class I or II)
- Your heart pumps blood well (LVEF of 50% or higher)
- No significant structural heart problems (like severe valve disease)
- Able to do a cardiopulmonary exercise test (bike or treadmill with breathing mask)

This trial is testing whether a structured exercise program (combining cardio and strength training) can help people who have already had a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if this type of training can improve heart health and quality of life.
This study looks at how well your heart performs during exercise before and after you have a procedure to manage your atrial fibrillation (either a pacemaker with ablation or cardioversion). The goal is to see if these treatments improve your heart's function and exercise ability.
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 using a new electrical pulse treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) early on, in people who also have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. The goal is to see if this treatment helps manage both conditions better.
This trial tests whether guided exercise at home helps people recover better after a procedure called catheter ablation, which treats an irregular heartbeat. It may improve your strength and overall recovery.
This study investigates whether a catheter ablation procedure can improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of serious events for people 80 and older with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if this treatment offers better outcomes than standard care in this age group.
