Background Recent studies have reported the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its
components on atrial fibrillation (AF), but the results remain controversial. Therefore, we …

Aims: To evaluate the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) status on the incidence of atrial
fibrillation (AF) in Koreans. Methods and results: Data obtained from the Korean National …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Metabolic syndrome (MS) has been recently associated with an
increased risk for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population …

Background: Although the prevalence of both atrial fibrillation (AF) and metabolic syndrome
(MetS) has been increasing in East Asia, the association between them is uncertain …

Abstract Background The metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components are associated
with the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of time-burden of MetS …

Backgroud There is a paucity of information on whether changes in metabolic syndrome
(MetS) status affect the risk of new‐onset atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to evaluate …

Metabolic syndrome represents a cluster of atherogenic risk factors including hypertension,
insulin resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Considering that all of these risk factors could …

Background and aims Some studies have reported that metabolic syndrome (MS) and a
high inflammatory state are risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the combined …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide; it is a significant risk factor
for stroke and embolization, and has an impact on cardiac function. Despite its impact on …

Background—The metabolic syndrome consists of a cluster of atherosclerotic risk factors,
many of which also have been implicated in the genesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). However …
