Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15040940. [PMID: 36839298 PMCID: PMC9964297 DOI: 10.3390/nu15040940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background. Overweight and obesity are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), and bariatric surgery (BS), able to induce sustained and prolonged weight loss, might represent the ideal treatment in the prevention of AF. Previous studies could not definitely establish a role for weight loss and BS in preventing incident AF so far. During the last few years, several studies on the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiovascular diseases have been published, and we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the role of weight loss through BS in the prevention of incident AF in obesity. Methods. This meta-analysis followed the PRISMA guideline. Eligible studies were controlled trials evaluating the appearance of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing weight loss through BS as compared with patients receiving medical treatment. Quality of studies was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale, and risk-of-bias was evaluated employing the Egger's test. All analyses were run by a random-effects model according to Hartung and Knapp and sensitivity analyses were performed. Heterogeneity was assessed through Q and I2 statistics for each comparison, and potential publication bias was formally investigated. Results. Ten studies were included in the meta-analysis, and the overall result was statistically significant [OR = 0.665 (0.475-0.929), p = 0.017], with significant heterogeneity (Q = 48.98, p < 0.001; I2 = 81.6%), but with no publication bias. In sensitivity analyses, the amount of weight loss, percentage of patients with diabetes and value of the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale, were all associated with significance of effect. Since age was different in one study, a sensitivity analysis was performed by excluding this study; OR was similar [OR = 0.608 (0.454-0.814), p < 0.001]; heterogeneity was reduced but still significant (Q = 35.74, p < 0.001, I2 = 77.6%) and again no publication bias was detected. Conclusions. Bariatric surgery as compared to medical treatment is associated with reduced appearance of incident AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery has been associated with reduced cardiovascular event in obese patients.In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes between pre-operation and post-operation atrial fibrillation predictors(p-wave parameters and left atrial diameter)in morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. METHODS 176 obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery were enrolled. Heart rate, PR, P-wave max, P-wave min,P-wave dispersion (PWdis), average P-axis, P-wave peak time (PWPT) of lead II and lead V1, terminal force of lead V1 (PWTF V1), partial interatrial block (p-IAB), advanced interatrial block(a-IAB), and left atrial diamete were measured both before operation and 8 months post-operation. RESULTS Heart rate, PR, PW max, PW min, PWdis, mean P-axis, PWPT II, PWPT V1, and PWTF V1 were near their upper limits before operation. Left atrial diameter was larger than the upper limit before operation. All parameters showed statistically significant decrease at 8 months post-operation. The most significant changes were observed in PWPT II (55.69 ± 6.87 ms vs 50.43 ± 7.48 ms, p < 0.001), PWPT V1(54.21 ± 7.01 ms vs 48.02 ± 7.13 ms, p < 0.001), PWTF V1(74 [42.0%] vs 41 [23.3%], p < 0.001),p-IAB(41[23.2%]vs11[6.2%],p < 0.001),a-IAB(6[3.4%]vs2[1.1%], p < 0.001), and left atrial diameter(43.25 ± 9.23 mm vs 34.27 ± 6.21 mm,p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The results of our study showed that bariatric surgery had a positive effect on the regression of P wave parameters and left atrial diameter which are predictors of atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is a chronic disease, which has significant health consequences and is a staggering burden to health care systems. Obesity can have harmful effects on the cardiovascular system, including heart failure, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and atrial fibrillation (AF). One of the possible substrates might be epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), which can be the link between AF and obesity. EAT is a fat deposit located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium. Numerous studies have demonstrated that EAT plays a pivotal role in this relationship regarding atrial fibrillation. AREAS COVERED This review will focus on the role of obesity and the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and examine the connection between these and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). The first part of this review will explain the pathophysiology of EAT and its association with the occurrence of AF. Secondly, we will review bariatric and metabolic surgery and its effects on EAT and AF. EXPERT COMMENTARY In this review, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatments methods of AF are explained. Secondly the effects on EAT were elucidated. Due to the complex pathophysiological link between EAT, AF, and obesity, it is still uncertain which treatment strategy is superior.

Abstract
Background Real‐world data on atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation outcomes in obese populations have remained scarce, especially the relationship between obesity and in‐hospital AF ablation outcome. Hypothesis Obesity is associated with higher complication rates and higher admission trend for AF ablation. Methods We drew data from the US National Inpatient Sample to identify patients who underwent AF ablation between 2005 and 2018. Sociodemographic and patients' characteristics data were collected, and the trend, incidence of catheter ablation complications and mortality were analyzed, and further stratified by obesity classification. Results A total of 153 429 patients who were hospitalized for AF ablation were estimated. Among these, 11 876 obese patients (95% confidence interval [CI]: 11 422–12 330) and 10 635 morbid obese patients (95% CI: 10 200–11 069) were observed. There was a substantial uptrend admission, up to fivefold, for AF ablation in all obese patients from 2005 to 2018 (p < .001). Morbidly obese patients were statistically younger, while coexisting comorbidities were substantially higher than both obese and nonobese patients (p < .01) Both obesity and morbid obesity were significantly associated with an increased risk of total bleeding, and vascular complications (p < .05). Only morbid obesity was significantly associated with an increased risk of ablation‐related complications, total infection, and pulmonary complications (p < .01). No difference in‐hospital mortality was observed among obese, morbidly obese, and nonobese patients. Conclusion Our study observed an uptrend in the admission of obese patients undergoing AF ablation from 2005 through 2018. Obesity was associated with higher ablation‐related complications, particularly those who were morbidly obese.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a relative lack of data that systematically investigates the breadth and validity of the association between bariatric surgery and health-related outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the quantity, validity, and credibility of evidence regarding the association between bariatric surgery and health-related outcomes using an umbrella review of meta-analyses. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science databases from inception until December 2, 2021, to identify meta-analyses of observational or interventional studies that investigated the association between bariatric surgery and multiple health outcomes. We extracted the summary effect size and 95% confidence interval (CI) data. The Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR-2) and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) guidelines were used for methodological and evidence quality assessments, respectively. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies with 82 different health-related outcomes were included in this umbrella review. Beneficial effects of bariatric surgery have been observed in cancer incidence, mortality, cardiovascular risk, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational hypertension, large for gestational age (LGA), macrosomia, post-term birth, risk of kidney stones, albuminuria, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, Barrett's esophagus, and diabetic retinopathy. However, adverse effects of bariatric surgery were observed for maternal anemia, perinatal mortality, congenital anomalies, preterm birth, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, intrauterine growth restriction, small for gestational age (SGA), fracture risk, upper limb fracture, suicide, self-harm, and alcohol use disorder (AUD). CONCLUSIONS Current evidence suggests that bariatric surgery improves the majority of health-related outcomes; however, caution is advised given it may increase the risk of adverse mental effects, perinatal problems, and fractures.

Abstract
Obesity has grown to become a major health problem over the past few decades. Obesity-related comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and dyslipidemia, are inextricably linked with increased adverse clinical consequences and mortality. Compared with other strategies for obesity, bariatric surgery is efficient in weight loss and has been proved to exert positive effects on obesity-related risk factors. This broad improvement in risk factors has resulted in substantial remission or reductions of comorbidities and better performance on clinical outcomes, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and mortality. With the development of surgical procedures, the safety of bariatric surgery has been validated and the rate of peri-operative death is low all over the world. Nonetheless, surgeons ought to be careful about potential complications, such as nutrition deficiencies, psychological disorders, or new digestive tract tumors after surgery. For patients with obesity, bariatric surgery might be a precious and crucial tool to bring additional benefits including comorbidities protection and life span extension. All patients with obesity should be engaged in a union consultation group to select a suitable treatment.

Abstract
There has been sustained focus on the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease and heart failure; yet, apart from stroke prevention, the evidence base for the secondary prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence, AF progression, and AF-related complications is modest. Although there are multiple observational studies, there are few large, robust, randomized trials providing definitive effective approaches for the secondary prevention of AF. Given the increasing incidence and prevalence of AF nationally and internationally, the AF field needs transformative research and a commitment to evidenced-based secondary prevention strategies. We report on a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute virtual workshop directed at identifying knowledge gaps and research opportunities in the secondary prevention of AF. Once AF has been detected, lifestyle changes and novel models of care delivery may contribute to the prevention of AF recurrence, AF progression, and AF-related complications. Although benefits seen in small subgroups, cohort studies, and selected randomized trials are impressive, the widespread effectiveness of AF secondary prevention strategies remains unknown, calling for development of scalable interventions suitable for diverse populations and for identification of subpopulations who may particularly benefit from intensive management. We identified critical research questions for 6 topics relevant to the secondary prevention of AF: (1) weight loss; (2) alcohol intake, smoking cessation, and diet; (3) cardiac rehabilitation; (4) approaches to sleep disorders; (5) integrated, team-based care; and (6) nonanticoagulant pharmacotherapy. Our goal is to stimulate innovative research that will accelerate the generation of the evidence to effectively pursue the secondary prevention of AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we planned to determine the frequency of postoperative AF and its related parameters in morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. METHODS The study included 300 patients with morbidly obese who had no history of AF and underwent successful bariatric surgery. Routine anamnesis, physical examination and laboratory parameters of the patients were recorded. Patients with postoperative AF were detected. The participants were grouped as patients with and without AF. RESULTS Postoperative AF occurred in 19 (6.3%) patients. Age, BMI and LAd diameter parameters independently determined the presence of AF. When the ROC curve was performed to identify patients with AF, the area under the ROC curve was found to be 0.841, 0.785 and 0.902 for age, BMI and LAd diameter, respectively. According to this analysis, 50 years for age, 43 kg/m2 for BMI and 40 mm for LAd were used to determine patients with AF with acceptable sensitivity and specificity (>70% each). CONCLUSIONS The most important determinants of postoperative AF are age, LAd and basal BMI. Therefore, morbidly obese patients with LAd >40 mm, BMI >43 kg/m2 and >50 years of age should be followed up more closely for postoperative AF development and preoperative precautions should be taken to prevent AF development.
