Аннотация

Background. Atrial Fibrillation is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia associated with irregular heartbeats, posing significant health risks. The purpose of the study is literature review seeks to explore the intricate relationship between cardiorespiratory endurance and Atrial Fibrillation, shedding light on how cardiorespiratory parameters can serve as essential markers for assessing physical activity levels.

Materials and methods. The search was conducted using electronic databases, particularly PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Titles and abstracts of identified studies were screened for relevance, and full-text articles were reviewed for eligibility. The following keywords were used in the search: atrial fibrillation, cardiorespiratory fitness, maximal oxygen consumption, cardiovascular mortality. The search depth is 25 years.

Results. Physical activity adherence lowers overall and cardiovascular mortality in Atrial Fibrillation patients. Tailored exercise regimens alleviate Atrial Fibrillation symptoms, improve heart rate control, and enhance well-being. Standardizing cardiorespiratory testing protocols is crucial for consistent comparisons. Various testing methods, including treadmill protocols and cycle ergometers, offer insights into Cardiorespiratory fitness. Differences between treadmill and cycle ergometer outcomes warrant careful interpretation. Normative values vary across populations, influenced by physical activity, geography, genetics, and testing modalities.

Conclusions. Integrating cardiorespiratory testing into AF management enhances diagnosis and personalized interventions, contributing to a nuanced approach in addressing this prevalent cardiac condition.
