Randomised, Controlled Trial of Exercise Training versus Standard Medical Care on Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Ablation in Patients with Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation

This is a dataset of 226 participants assessing the impact of a progressive, structured exercise program in patients with symptomatic AF in a randomised controlled trial. The study intervention will be assessed by the maintenance of sinus rhythm post-ablation, when compared with standard medical care. The primary endpoint of this study is the recurrence of any atrial arrhythmia, off anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs) in the 18-months post-ablation. The primary end point is recurrence of any atrial fibrillation over 30s in duration, detected by implantable loop recorder, routine Holter monitoring or 12-lead electrocardiography. The key secondary endpoints will include atrial structural remodelling, peak oxygen consumption and AF symptom severity.
