Can shedding pounds calm a racing heart? new study tests weight loss for AFib
NCT ID NCT05600829
Summary
This study is testing if adding a behavioral weight loss program to standard cardiac rehabilitation helps people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and obesity. 120 participants will either get the standard rehab program or the rehab program plus 12 weeks of online group classes focused on weight loss strategies. The main goal is to see if the combined program helps more people lose at least 10% of their body weight, which research suggests can reduce AFib symptoms.
