Atrial Fibrillation is a slow leak in an athlete's engine. Catheter ablation preserves VO2peak in endurance athletes over 2 years, while medical therapy leads to an 11% decline. Fix the rhythm, protect the engine. 🏃‍♂️⚡️ #EPeeps #SportsCardiology www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10....

For anyone wondering about the connection of peak VO2 to mortality: In individuals aged 70-77 with peak VO2 <26.5 (male) and <22.2 (female) over a year, risk of death 2 to 5-fold higher than a high peak VO2 group www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
