Does Regular Walking Improves Weakened Heart?

My son was in arial fib and had a blood clot in his heart. He is on medication now and is much better--they think blood clot gone and plan to shock his heart back into correct rhythm again. Will regular walking improve his weakened heart and make it stronger

Basically atrial fibrillation is a disorder of rhythm,it does not mean that heart is weak.I need information from your echo report about LV ejection fraction.but I presume it to be normal.walking will not strengthen weak heart.please proceed for DC shock to make rhythm of heart regular.my best wishes.
