The relationship between resting heart rate and peak VO2: A comparison of atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm

Conclusions The impact of resting heart rate on exercise capacity differed completely between atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm, suggesting that heart rate control may need to be managed differently for atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm, in light of exercise capacity that is related to quality of life and prognosis.
