Interestingly, they believe a number of people with left atrial dysfunction can reverse the atrial fibrillation by gradually increasing moderate intensity exercise to 210 minutes a week.

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

I’m a life-long endurance athlete in my 70’s. I’m fit. Though my pace is slowing over time, this year I’ll again run over 400 miles and cycle over 2000. Those aren’t huge numbers, but represent regular workouts.
In 2015 and again in 2017 I suffered from A-fib in the form of atrial vibration. I had a cardio-ablation in 2017 and have not had a recurrence.
There’s a number of studies that show life-long athletics is itself a factor for increased risk. My personal experience and similar experiences from others I know support this - with an admittedly small non-controlled sample size.
For what it’s worth.
