Funded Activity Summary

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) affects 240,000 Australians and rates of AF are rising. AF presents a significant economic burden. AF is debilitating and increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, or premature death. People with AF have high levels of cardiovascular risk and recommendations suggest they make lifestyle changes. These recommendations are not strongly evidence based. We aim to test if a lifestyle intervention can improve adherence and develop evidence to support the recommendations.
