[Chinese expert consensus on cardiac rehabilitation in patients with atrial fibrillation].

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. More and more attention has been paid to its risk factor control and multidisciplinary management. A number of studies have proved that patients with AF benefit from cardiac rehabilitation. However, a unified management plan of cardiac rehabilitation for patients with AF is lacking in China. Thus, a Chinese expert consensus on the rehabilitation of AF (including valvular AF and non-valvular AF) is compiled based on newly issued related guidelines at home and abroad, in which the updated important academic content is included. This consensus mainly includes the upstream management of AF, multidimensional rehabilitation evaluation and exercise prescription.
