Weight change and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Nicholas Robert JonesKathryn S TaylorClare J TaylorPaul AveyardPublished in: Heart (British Cardiac Society) (2019)
Weight gain may increase the risk of AF, but there was no clear evidence that non-surgical weight loss altered AF incidence. Strategies to prevent weight gain in the population may reduce the global burden of AF. Given the lack of studies and methodological limitations, further research is needed.
