Brief summary

Thoracoscopic ablation is a promising treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation. However, the postoperative rehabilitation is very important to prevent early recurrence of atrial arrhythmia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of professional cardiac rehabilitation in patients after thoracoscopic ablation.
