Excerpt
We read with great interest the article entitled “Predictive value of interatrial block on electrocardiogram among obese patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation” published in the
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology by Tandon et al. [
1]. They retrospectively analyzed 205 patients with body mass indices (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m
2 who underwent initial atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. They concluded that partial interatrial block (IAB), defined as P-wave duration (PWD) ≥ 120 ms, and advanced IAB with evidence of biphasic P-wave in inferior leads were independently associated with increased risk of recurrent arrhythmia after AF ablation in patients with obesity. …
