Atrial Fibrillation, Exercise and Obesity

Effect of physical exercise on metabolism in patients with atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

DECEMBER 18, 2024

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, is closely linked to metabolic dysfunctions, including obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Additionally, it calls for more basic studies and large-scale clinical trials to establish and refine evidence-based exercise guidelines specific to AF management.

September is National Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most common yet often misunderstood heart conditions. Understanding Atrial Fibrillation Atrial Fibrillation is characterized by an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to poor blood flow.

Optimal NT-proBNP cut points for HFpEF rule out (optimizing sensitivity) and rule in (optimizing specificity) were derived and tested, stratified by obesity and atrial fibrillation. In our study, NT-proBNP provided little value in those with AF and dyspnea because the presence of AF is by itself a robust biomarker of HFpEF.
