First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured cardiac rehabilitation program with exercise and lifestyle coaching, started after a standard catheter ablation procedure, can help obese patients with atrial fibrillation stay free from the heart rhythm disorder longer. Researchers will follow 520 participants for at least a year, comparing those who get the rehab program to those who receive usual care. The goal is to see if lifestyle changes can improve long-term outcomes beyond the procedure alone.
