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.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in clinical practice. It worsens the quality of life of patients, leads to an increase in the mortality rate because of its association with a high risk of thromboembolic complications. However, most research in this area has focused on hospital patients.
