Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to investigate effect of Medi Yoga on quality of life, biomedical factors and health care consumption, and to study gender differences between individuals diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Furthermore, an additional purpose is to describe people's experiences of Medi Yoga and identify how Medi Yoga affects their condition. Hypothesis Individuals with PAF exercising Medi Yoga improve their quality of life and blood pressure, heart rate and heart rate variability. Biological markers such as NT-proBNP and CRP are positively affected, and that individuals seek less medical care.

Study Population

Patients with diagnosis of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation will be identified from the list of patients scheduled for second visits at the Arrhythmia Polyclinic ("Arytmimottagningen") at the Cardiology Clinic, Danderyd Hospital. The selection will also be made from other hospitals in the Stockholm County Council.

You may qualify if:

• diagnosis of PAF and experience of symptomatic atrial fibrillation verified by ECG in the last six months

You may not qualify if:

• language difficulties, multi-diagnosis and/or cognitive dysfunction (eg, diagnoses of mental illness, dementia) who are judged not to be able to perform yoga. Individuals with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation are also excluded.
