atrial fibrillation/비만증

There is an association between obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF). The impact of obesity on AF ablation procedures is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on patient characteristics, long-term ablation outcomes, and procedural complications. We

OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Chinese adults. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the association between obesity and atrial fibrillation among 18,615 Chinese (10,370 females)

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have described an inverse relationship between obesity and adverse events in a variety of conditions. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between obesity and prognosis in patients with atrial fibrillation. METHODS We studied 746 patients who were prospectively

There is a well established association between obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF). Nevertheless, the effects of obesity in the outcomes of patients with AF has not been investigated since a few years before. In this regard, several studies have demonstrated a better clinical prognosis of AF in

Background: Data on the association between AF and fitness is conflicting. Objectives: The aim of this analysis was to investigate the association between fitness, obesity and

Obese patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are frequently treated with AF ablation. We sought to examine whether a body mass index (BMI) threshold exists beyond which the odds of experiencing a complication from AF ablation increases. All patients enrolled in the Vanderbilt AF Registry who

OBJECTIVE To discuss the relationship between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea as they relate to the growing atrial fibrillation epidemic, and to discuss possible mechanistic links and implications for treatment of atrial fibrillation. RESULTS Increasing BMI plays an important role in development

BACKGROUND As atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with the aging of the population, it is urgently required to clarify modifiable factors to prevent AF. However, evidence regarding the independent influence of abdominal-obesity and habitual behaviors on incident AF is limited among

BACKGROUND Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a strong association with atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to prospectively determine the effects of obesity, assessed by the body mass index (BMI) and OSA on the efficacy of catheter ablation of AF. METHODS The patient

UNASSIGNED We investigated the association between obesity and biomarkers indicating cardiac or renal dysfunction or inflammation and their interaction with obesity and outcomes. UNASSIGNED A total of 14 753 patients in the Apixaban for Reduction In STroke and Other ThromboemboLic Events in Atrial

Obesity is a well-recognized risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), yet adiposity measures other than body mass index (BMI) have had limited assessment in relation to AF risk. We examined the associations of adiposity measures with AF in a biracial cohort of older adults. Given established racial

Because the interrelationships of objectively ascertained sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), postcardiac surgery atrial fibrillation (PCSAF), and obesity remain unclear, we aimed to further investigate the interrelationships in a clinic-based cohort. Patients with polysomnography and cardiac surgery

Obesity is associated with an increased likelihood for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and with worsened AF symptom severity. However, other factors that are correlated with obesity may confound or mediate the relation of obesity with AF symptom severity. The purpose of this study was to

Patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation are exposed to X-rays not only during the procedure but also during the preprocedural computed tomography. No study has investigated the cumulative effective dose received by patients who underwent atrial fibrillation ablation and
