Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia (estimated lifetime risk, 22%–26%). The
aim of this article is to review the clinical epidemiological features of AF and to relate them to …

Background: Obesity begets atrial fibrillation (AF). Although cardiorespiratory fitness is
protective against incident AF in obese individuals, its effect on AF recurrence or the benefit …

During the past decade, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved rapidly from
an investigational procedure to its current status as a commonly performed ablation …

Importance Obesity is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Whether weight reduction and
cardiometabolic risk factor management can reduce the burden of atrial fibrillation is not …

Background: Obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist. Weight loss reduces the
burden of AF, but whether this is sustained, has a dose effect, or is influenced by weight …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. The scope and impact of
atrial fibrillation are wide; it can affect cardiac function, functional status, and quality of life …

Surveys and registries are needed to verify that real-life daily practice is in keeping with what
is recommended in the guidelines, thus completing the loop between clinical research …

Background—Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and costly problem among older persons.
The frequency of AF increases with age, but representative national data about incidence …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, is
a chronic and progressive disorder characterized by exacerbations and remissions …

Background—The mainstay of treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) remains pharmacological;
however, catheter ablation has increasingly been used over the last decade. The relative …
