Aerobic Interval Training Prevents Age-Dependent Vulnerability to Atrial Fibrillation in Rodents

Aerobic Interval Training Prevents Age-Dependent Vulnerability to Atrial Fibrillation in Rodents

Aims: Increasing age is the most important risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Very high doses of exercise training might increase AF risk, while moderate levels seem to be protective. This study aimed to examine the effects of age on vulnerability to AF and whether long-term aerobic interval...
