ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. AF increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, dementia, and hospitalization. Obesity significantly increases AF risk, both directly and indirectly, through related conditions, like hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure.

Abstract Introduction Influence of early atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, particularly cryoballoon ablation (CBA), on clinical outcome during long-term follow-up has not been clarified. The primary outcome was recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) of ≥30-s after a 3-month blanking period. vs. 31.7%, p  = 0.043).
