The effect of integrated cardiac rehabilitation versus treatment as usual for atrial fibrillation patients treated with ablation: the randomised CopenHeartRFA trial protocol

摘要: Introduction: Atrial fibrillation affects almost 2% of the population in Western world. To preserve sinus rhythm, ablation is undertaken symptomatic patients. Observational studies show that patients with atrial often report a low quality life and are less prone to be physically active due fear triggering fibrillation. Small trials indicate exercise training has positive effect on capacity mental health, both recurrent rhythm may benefit from rehabilitation managing after ablation. No randomised have been published cardiac for treated includes psychoeducational components. Aim: test effects an integrated programme versus treatment as usual
