Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess whether an exercise stress test on an ergometer bicycle could induce sinus rhythm in patients with persistent AF scheduled for electrical cardioversion and if this intervention (regardless of rhythm conversion) could improve health-related quality of life in these patients.
