Can shedding pounds ease a fluttering heart? study targets elderly AF patients

NCT ID NCT03713775

Summary

This study tested whether a structured weight loss and behavioral support program could reduce symptoms related to atrial fibrillation (AF) in older, overweight patients. 119 participants aged 60-85 with AF were randomly assigned to either the weight loss program or usual care for about 8 months. The main goal was to see if the program led to better symptom control and improved quality of life compared to standard treatment.
