Impact of Pre-Ablation Prehabilitation on Clinical Outcomes and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Sponsor: Nanjing Medical University
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effects of a preoperative prehabilitation program versus usual care on post-procedural cardiorespiratory function and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Interventions
4-week structured prehabilitation program (exercise training + psychological education)
The prehabilitation group will receive a 4-week structured program before ablation, including: Individualized exercise training: Prescription based on cardiopulmonary exercise test results, including aerobic exercise (40%-60% of heart rate reserve) and resistance training Psychological and educational intervention: Structured education based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles, focusing on addressing kinesiophobia Delivery mode: Hybrid (supervised in-hospital sessions + monitored home-based sessions) The usual care group will receive only standard preoperative education without structured rehabilitation.
