BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with the development of atrial fibrillation and may
impact atrial fibrillation-related outcomes. To date, no anthropometric measure is included in …

Background Several studies have investigated the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the
prognosis of atrial fibrillation, but the results remain controversial. We sought to estimate the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and obesity have reached epidemic proportions. The impact of obesity
on clinical outcomes in patients with established AF is unknown. We analyzed 2,492 …

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 …

Background Obesity is considered to be related to recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), left
atrial thrombus formation, and atrial remodeling. However, whether obesity is an …

Aim We aimed to investigate whether different measures of obesity could similarly predict
atrial fibrillation, and whether the atrial fibrillation risk associated with obesity is dependent …

Background and Purpose—Obesity has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk
in atrial fibrillation, but little is known in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods—Post …

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 …

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 …

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 …
