    Atrial fibrillation patients face reduced exercise tolerance and recurrence post-radiofrequency ablation, impacting recovery and prognosis.

  • 2

    Current guidelines recommend exercise-based rehabilitation, but its clinical implementation remains suboptimal due to various barriers.

  • 3

    The study identified 20 quality indicators and 16 evidence points related to exercise timing, assessment, prescription, and follow-up.

  • 4

    Implementation barriers include inadequate healthcare personnel knowledge, patient misconceptions, and lack of organizational support.

  • 5

    Effective translation of evidence into practice requires tailored strategies to address identified barriers in exercise rehabilitation.
