The change of epicardial adipose tissue characteristics and vulnerability for atrial fibrillation upon drastic weight loss
In this explorative study, longer p-wave durations related to higher BMIs, larger EAT volume, and lower EAT attenuations. P-wave duration and EAT volume decreased, and EAT attenuation increased upon drastic weightloss. However, there was no relation between decreased p-wave duration and changed BMI or EAT characteristics.
