Atrial Fibrillation, Cardiovascular Disease and Obesity

Challenges in the Cardiovascular Evaluation and Management of Patients With Obesity

American College of Cardiology

JANUARY 8, 2024

Obesity is a multifaceted disease that is directly and indirectly implicated in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (AF), and multiple CVD risk factors, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and sleep disorders.

Meanwhile, the risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been increasing with ageing. Cancer, atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease share some common factors and interact with each other, such as obesity, aging, diabetes, and inflammation, but the potential specific mechanism is still unclear.

BACKGROUND:Sustained forms of atrial fibrillation (AF) are associated with lower treatment success rates and poorer prognosis compared with paroxysmal AF. Older age, male sex, postcollege education, and obesity were preferentially associated with persistent AF and represent a high-risk AF subset for population-based intervention.
