Exercise Training in Patients With Persistent or Permanent Atrial Fibrillation
Sponsor: Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation
Summary
The main purpose of this project is to evaluate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICE) and standard care on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation. Positive findings are vitally important for these patients, given the condition's substantial morbidity, mortality and high economic costs.
