Aerobic exercise and breathing training for dialysis patients with atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding aerobic exercise and inspiratory muscle training (breathing exercises for the diaphragm) can help people on dialysis who also have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). It may improve their heart and breathing fitness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- You have chronic kidney failure (with GFR > 30) and you are on regular hemodialysis (since at least 2 months).
- You have atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat).
- You live a sedentary lifestyle and are not currently working.
- You have a vascular access via an arteriovenous fistula (a surgically made connection for dialysis).
- You are stable enough to understand instructions and do not have serious health problems like uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent stroke, or heart attack.

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 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 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 tests a breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) that you do during your regular hemodialysis sessions. It may help strengthen your breathing muscles and improve your overall well-being.
This study tests a breathing exercise program done during dialysis sessions. It may help you feel stronger and do daily activities more easily.
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.
