Efficacy of Personalized Exercise Program and Trimetazidine in Rehabilitation of Patients After RFA of AF

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common forms of heart rhythm disorder in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The choice of treatment for AF is a complex problem, depending on the form (paroxysmal, persistent, permanent) of AF, clinical manifestations of cardiac arrhythmias, associated diseases, the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic drugs. The accumulated data to date indicate an efficacy of the method of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of the paroxysmal form of AF. The RFA procedure does not eliminate the pathological processes that take place during developed AF. This dictates the need to develop and test new technologies and physical rehabilitation programmes for patients. The positive clinical effects of physical rehabilitation programmes based on moderate-intensity exercises are well known. The search for drugs capable of improving the results of RFA for AF in patients becomes urgent. This creates the prerequisites for the study of the clinical efficacy of trimetazidine MV in the rehabilitation of patients with cardiac diseases who underwent treatment of AF with RFA, which will optimize the management of such patients in the inpatient and outpatient setting.
