Abstract
In this international cohort study that included 3282 patients, a body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) greater than 30 was independently associated with atrial fibrillation, disease progression, and heart failure onset irrespective of age, sex, outflow tract obstruction, and genotype. Strategies aimed at controlling obesity via proactive counselling should therefore be part of daily clinical practice and risk factor control.
