Description of intervention(s) / exposure
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

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 257904 0
maximal heart rate will be compared between the two methods as well as time above certain thresholds (ventricular heart rate of 115 and 100). These will be assessed by using cardiac monitors and 24 holter monitors and assessed by those with skills at reading them

Summary
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.
