Background The prevalence of obesity is increasing among the general population. Obesity
is associated with increased risk of several cardiovascular conditions, which in turn may …

BACKGROUND: Obesity has been shown to be associated with atrial enlargement and
ventricular diastolic dysfunction, both of which are risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Aims Although obesity has been associated with risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), the
associations of long-term obesity, recent obesity, and weight change with AF risk throughout …

ContextObesity is associated with atrial enlargement and ventricular diastolic dysfunction,
both known predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is unclear whether obesity is a …

Background Obesity is a well-known risk factor for development of atrial fibrillation (AF).
However, the impact of underweight on AF has not been previously recognized. We sought …

Obesity is associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the effect of obesity on
AF recurrence or burden has not been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

The impact of obesity on the prognosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial. We
conducted an exposure‐effect meta‐analysis of prospective studies to clarify the relationship …

BACKGROUND: Obese patients have favorable outcomes in congestive heart failure,
hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and coronary artery disease. Obesity also has …

Aims Obesity has been shown to be a risk factor for first atrial fibrillation (AF), but whether it
is associated with progression from paroxysmal to permanent AF is unknown. Methods and …

Background Increased body mass index (BMI) and obesity are associated with increased
risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) among middle-aged adults. Objectives The objective …
