The type of exercise most beneficial for quality of life in people with atrial fibrillation: a network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly detracts from health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Despite the promotion of exercise interventions for managing AF, the effectiveness of different exercise modalities remains to be clearly defined. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of various modes of exercise interventions on HRQoL in AF patients.

Methods

A random-effect network meta-analysis was performed. We conducted comprehensive searches across multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Chinese databases such as CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP. The review included only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of exercise interventions
