title: Review Of Obesity And Atrial Fibrillation: Exploring The Paradox.
abstract: There is a well established association between obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF). Nevertheless, the effects of obesity in the outcomes of patients with AF has not been investigated since a few years before. In this regard, several studies have demonstrated a better clinical prognosis of AF in overweight and obese populations. In the present manuscrit, we aimed to explore the main articles in which the "obesity paradox in AF" was found.
