Background : Obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist. Weight loss reduces the
burden of AF, but whether this is sustained, has a dose effect, or is influenced by weight …

Background : The long-term outcome of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation demonstrates attrition.
This outcome may be due to failure to attenuate the progressive substrate promoted by …

Background : Obesity begets atrial fibrillation (AF). Although cardiorespiratory fitness is
protective against incident AF in obese individuals, its effect on AF recurrence or the benefit of …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive disease. Obesity is associated with progression
of AF. This study evaluates the impact of weight and risk factor management (RFM) on …

Background : Remote monitoring (RM) of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) is an
established technology integrated into clinical practice. One recent randomized controlled …

Intensive research over the last few decades has seen significant advances in our understanding
of the complex mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF). The epidemic of AF and …

Background— Although adiposity is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for atrial fibrillation
(AF), the importance of epicardial fat compared with other adipose tissue depots remains …

Aims Several techniques have been utilized for the ablation of persistent (P) and long-standing
persistent (LsP) atrial fibrillation (AF); however, the best approach of substrate ablation …

Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and come in a
variety of forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained ventricular …

Objectives : The aims of the study were to characterize: 1) electrical and electroanatomical
remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with obesity; and 2) the impact of epicardial …
