What this Trial Is About
The investigators aim to conduct a pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) with embedded feasibility study to evaluate an exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR) programme when delivered to patients with atrial fibrillation on the waiting list for catheter ablation. Our overall objective is to test the feasibility and acceptability of an evidence-based ExCR intervention prior to evaluation in a future randomized controlled trial (RCT).
