Impact of weight/BMI on clinical and bleeding events in 26 805 atrial fibrillation patients on edoxaban from the Global ETNA-AF Registry
In a large cohort of AF patients, U-shaped relationships were found between body weight/BMI and all-cause/CV death at 2-year follow-up. Clinical monitoring of AF patients and associated comorbidities should be intensified at specific thresholds of low body weight and/or low BMI.
