PrEventing Progression of AF in Indigenous People (The Pepp Study) Description: The Preventing Progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Indigenous People (PePP) study accelerates and scales community based research in early detection and effective management of AF in Indigenous people in Australia. Indigenous people are more likely to have AF and at a younger age. The PePP study extends this work to preventing progression of AF in Indigenous people through exercise and dietary interventions, and exploring emerging evidence about early cardiac ablation for at risk populations.
