Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia and its prevalence increases
with age. AF is strongly associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and …

Obesity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, rather
than general fat distribution, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) gains a growing concern. EAT …

Background—Although adiposity is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for atrial
fibrillation (AF), the importance of epicardial fat compared with other adipose tissue depots …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and is
associated with major morbidity and mortality. AF prevalence has been projected to increase …

The amount of adipose tissue that accumulates around the atria is associated with the risk,
persistence, and severity of atrial fibrillation (AF). A strong body of clinical and experimental …

Obesity is a well‐known risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Local epi‐myocardial or intra‐
myocardial adiposity caused by aging, obesity, or cardiovascular disease (CVD) is …

Background—Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to inflammatory factors and obesity.
Epicardial fat is a source of several inflammatory mediators related to the development of …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. AF is often
associated with profound functional and structural alterations of the atrial myocardium that …
