Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this present study is to evaluate the effects of exercise intervention on cardiac function, evaluation of heart failure and recurrence rate in patients with atrial fibrillation who had catheter ablation.　Due to the influence of the covid-19 infection, the situation where individual postoperative training was not possible continued, and the target number of cases has not been reached, but indicators such as heart failure tend to decrease. This study suggests its effectiveness of exercise intervention.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

心房細動カーテルアブレーション術後の運動療法による介入がその再発予防や心臓の負荷の軽減にどのような影響を及ぼすかはわかっていない。今回の研究成果として、まだ研究の中間ではあるものの心不全改善等が示唆された。今後、研究を継続し、解析結果が待たれるものの、今回の研究により術後の生活の指導やリハビリテーションは重要な意味を持つことが考えられた。
