Impact of Pre-Ablation Prehabilitation on Clinical Outcomes and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
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.
Inclusion: Aged 18-70 years; Scheduled for first AF ablation; NYHA class I-II; LVEF ≥ 50%.
Exclusion: Significant structural heart disease (e.g., severe valvular disease); Cognitive impairment preventing cooperation; Contraindications to CPET or exercise training.
