Obesity is a major risk factor for atrial fibrillation. It also influences the natural history of the
disease, leading to more persistent forms and poorer ablation outcomes. This article reviews …

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions, and is associated with increased all-cause
mortality. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia in the clinical …

Introduction Obesity is a well‐known risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). We aim to evaluate
the effect of baseline obesity on procedural complications, AF recurrence, and symptoms …

Background—Obesity is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular conditions.
Our objective was to determine whether catheter-based ablation effectively treated atrial …

Obese patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are frequently treated with AF ablation. We sought
to examine whether a body mass index (BMI) threshold exists beyond which the odds of …

Background There is an association between obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF). The impact
of obesity on AF ablation procedures is unclear. Objective The purpose of this study was to …

Background Outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) are variable and the
predictors of success require further elucidation since the identification of correctable risk …

Objectives The association between obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF) is well-established.
We aimed to evaluate the impact of index body mass index (BMI) on AF recurrence at 12 …

Obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF) have been identified as global epidemics by local
agencies across the developed world. 1 Prospective cohort studies have observed 4%–5 …

Background Catheter ablation (CA) is an established treatment for patients with symptomatic
atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of …
