Obesity is associated with impaired long-term success of pulmonary vein isolation: a plea for risk factor management before ablation
AIMS: Obesity is an increasing health problem and is an important risk factor for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated the association of body mass index (BMI) on the safety and long-term efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for drug-refractory AF. METHODS: 414 consecut...
