Abstrakt: Background: Emerging evidence suggests a pathophysiological link between obesity and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the contribution of body fat distribution to left atrial (LA) remodeling and its reversibility remain unclear in nonobese AF patients.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of body fat distribution with LA size and reverse remodeling (LARR).
Methods: In total, 116 nonobese patients with AF (88 men, age 63 ± 11 years) who underwent first catheter ablation (CA) were included. Body fat distribution was assessed with bioelectrical impedance, and body fat percentage (BF%) and central fat percentage (CF%) were calculated. Patients were categorized by body size metrics (body mass index [BMI] and waist-to-hip [W/H] ratio) and fat parameters (BF% and CF%). Echocardiography was performed before and 6 months after CA. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between the 4 metrics (ie, BMI, W/H ratio, BF%, and CF%) and a lack of LARR (<15% reduction or increase in the LA volume index).
Results: Body size metrics and adiposity measures were not independently associated with baseline LA size. Six months after CA, the higher W/H ratio and CF% groups exhibited persistent LA enlargement compared to their counterparts (both P  < 0.01). In the multivariable analysis, W/H ratio and CF% were associated with a lack of LARR (adjusted ORs of 3.86 and 2.81 per 0.10 and 10% increase, respectively, both P  < 0.01). The combined assessment of CF% with W/H ratio provided complementary risk stratification for persistent LA enlargement.
Conclusions: Central adiposity was associated with a lack of LARR after CA, highlighting the importance of assessing body fat distribution even in nonobese patients.
