Detraining on Atrial Fibrillation

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will examine the effect of detraining as a clinical tool to prevent recurrence of lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and improve quality of life. Persons who engage in endurance activity with AF will be randomly assigned to undergo an 8-week period of detraining or encouraged to maintain their current level of exercise. Participants will receive a handheld device called AliveCor that can record an electrical tracing of the heart rhythm by pressing down with ones' thumbs. The amount of arrhythmia and symptoms will be recorded. The research team hypothesizes that among athletes with lone AF, an 8-week period of detraining will not affect atrial fibrillation recurrence or quality of life.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Prescribed Detraining

Detraining is the deliberate act of reducing volume of exercise to observe subsequent changes in cardiac indices over time or the partial or complete loss of training of induced anatomical, physiological and performance adaptions. Detraining is primarily employed as a diagnostic tool to help differentiate Athletes' heart from cardiac pathology.
