Are there any types of exercises I should do, and for how long should I exercise for

The most effective cardiovascular exercise that we encourage patients is to do moderate levels of cardiovascular exercise at least four or five times a week for 30 to 40 minutes, which causes an increase in your heart rate. Probably the best guide for a lot of patients is to do an exercise which increases your heart rate, makes you feel a little bit breathless. But if you were doing this exercise with a colleague, you could still hold a conversation. So for example, if you are going for a run, then run at a pace for 30 to 40 minutes, where if you were with a colleague, you could still hold a conversation. This level of moderate cardiovascular exercise has been shown to be very effective in helping and promote good cardiovascular health. And good cardiovascular health will improve the efficacy of the treatments for atrial fibrillation, but also over time reduce the chances of you developing atrial fibrillation.
