Abstract: | The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and obesity are rising significantly. There is a shared association between these conditions with obesity predisposing individuals to a number of shared risk factors. In addition, obesity in itself has been shown to cause changes to the structure, function and hemodynamics of the heart. There is evidence to show that weight-loss has significant impact on AF symptoms, burden and more recently the potential to reverse the type of AF. Through risk factor management and in the case of morbid obesity, bariatric surgery, there is an improved prognosis for patients with AF and obesity. In this paper we provide a review of the current data on obesity and AF prevalence, pathogenesis and prognosis. |
