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 and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist and independently increase
mortality. We sought to assess the association between obesity and adverse events in …

Although obesity is associated with the development and progression of atrial fibrillation
(AF), an obesity paradox may be present, illustrated by seemingly protective effects of …

Background and Purpose—Obesity is a risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular death
but, despite this, an inverse relationship between overweight or obesity and a better …

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

Obesity is well-established as a major cardiovascular (CV) risk factor. Obesity confers a
greater risk for developing atrial fibrillation (AF), but the relation between obesity and …

Aims To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and outcomes in
patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and results In the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial …

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 …

Background The prognostic impact of obesity on patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains
under-evaluated and controversial. Methods Patients with AF from the Gulf Survey of Atrial …
