Does obesity affect atrial fibrillation ablation outcomes? Insights from a national atrial fibrillation catheter ablation registry: One-year follow-up
This study suggests that although obesity is associated with a higher rate of rehospitalization, it does not significantly affect the 12-month efficacy or safety of AF ablation. These findings support the continued use of AF ablation in obese patients, regardless of obesity class.
