Obese patients exhibit a greater enhancement in mental health-related quality of life compared to non-obese patients following thoracoscopic ablation of atrial fibrillation
After thoracoscopic ablation, obese patients experience a comparable incidence of AF recurrence as non-obese patients. Interestingly, obese patients also exhibit a more significant enhancement in mental quality of life, regardless of whether AF recurs or not.
