Heart patients get a Pre-Hab boost: exercise before ablation may improve recovery
NCT ID NCT06042231
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a tailored exercise and education program, given before and after a first-time atrial fibrillation ablation, can improve heart fitness and quality of life compared to standard care. About 107 adults scheduled for ablation will be randomly assigned to either the program or a single education session. The main goal is to see if the program increases peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) 10 weeks after the procedure.
