Exercise Training in Patients With Persistent or Permanent Atrial Fibrillation

NCT03397602 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 132

Last updated 2026-03-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main purpose of this project is to evaluate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICE) and standard care on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation. Positive findings are vitally important for these patients, given the condition's substantial morbidity, mortality and high economic costs.
