Comparative Effectiveness of Direct Current Cardioversion in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Obesity With Body Mass Index ≥50 kg/m2

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequently encountered arrhythmia, with obesity being an independent risk factor. There are sparse data on the success rates of direct current cardioversion (DCCV) in patients with severe obesity. We compared the effectiveness of DCCV in patients with a body ma...

Description
Summary:Atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequently encountered arrhythmia, with obesity being an independent risk factor. There are sparse data on the success rates of direct current cardioversion (DCCV) in patients with severe obesity. We compared the effectiveness of DCCV in patients with a body mass index (BMI) >50 kg/m2 with those with a BMI
