Overview

Systematic review identifies exercise's effects on exercise capacity and quality of life in atrial fibrillation patients, suggesting areas for further research.

Key Points

  • Aerobic exercise significantly improves VO2 peak in patients with permanent and non-permanent AF, enhancing exercise capacity.
  • MIE reduces resting heart rate in patients with permanent AF, indicating effective cardiac rehabilitation outcomes.
  • Cardiac rehabilitation showed no significant improvements in quality of life or 6MWT compared to usual care, highlighting limitations.
  • Further research is needed to understand how exercise modality and intensity affect symptoms and outcomes in atrial fibrillation.
