Obesity promotes the onset of atrial fibrillation (AF) through several pathways.
Understanding these pathways can help in developing targeted interventions for AF in obese patients.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Obesity promotes the onset of AF through several pathways, including left atrial remodelling, accumulation of epicardial adipose tissue, alterations in cardiac loading, increased inflammation, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation.
