Supervised Obesity Reduction Trial for AF ablation patients: results from the SORT-AF trial
ConclusionThe SORT-AF study shows that AF ablation is safe and successful in obese patients using continuous monitoring via ILR. Although the primary endpoint of AF burden after ablation did not differ between the two groups, the effects of weight loss and improvement of exercise activity were beneficial for obese patients with persistent AF demonstrating the relevance of life-style management as an important adjunct to AF ablation in this setting.Trial registration numberNCT02064114.
