Brief summary

the primary purpose is to show that the use of a simple inexpensive test such as a 6 minute walk with measuring of heart rate is as good as the more inconvienient, time consuming and expensive but gold standard test of 24 holter monitor in assessing moderate exercise ventricular heart rate control in atrial fibrillation.

Interventions

subjects will perform a 6 minute walk with a cardiac monitor on and maximal heart rate and time above certain threshholds measured. The subject will then have a 24 hour Holter monitor attached and similar measures to above made. These will then be compared to ensure non inferiority of6 minute walk. Each will be a one off assessment. over duration of enrollment will be 3 months
