The existing approach to managing AF predominantly revolves around medication and medical procedures, and no prescription of tailored rehabilitation program (RP) is currently offered for this population.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study aims to gauge the perspectives of healthcare professionals regarding the implementation of a personalised RP for individuals living with AF and to identify the barriers hindering the referral process.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among healthcare professionals in the UK responsible for caring for adults with AF.

A significant majority (61%) of the participants expressed agreement that an RP could help individuals with AF regain their ability to carry out daily activities, and 58% believed that RP could effectively alleviate symptoms such as breathlessness and palpitations (52%). Virtually all respondents (99%) recommended that a tailored program should encompass education about AF, weight management, and symptom control (94%). Notably, the primary factor influencing their decision to make a referral was the low physical activity levels (80%). Transportation emerged as the chief obstacle to referring patients to the program (62%). A substantial majority (79%) favoured a home-based rehabilitation program as the optimal mean of delivery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The responses from healthcare professionals reflect a keen interest in implementing a program tailored to individuals with AF, with patients' low physical activity levels being the primary motivator for referrals.
