Summary

This study aims to to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess whether an exercise stress test on an ergometer bicycle could induce sinus rhythm in patients with persistent AF scheduled for electrical cardioversion and if this intervention (regardless of rhythm conversion) could improve health-related quality of life in these patients.

Conditions

  • Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Interventions

OTHER

Bicycle ergometer excercise

Patients will undergo a symptom-limited ergometer cycling test under medical supervision. If the atrial fibrillation is not converted to sinus rhythm during the exercise test, the patients will be electrically converted.

PROCEDURE

Standard care with electrical cardioversion

Standard care with planned electrical cardioversion without exercise intervention.
