Although there are randomized data demonstrating the impact of weight and cardiometabolic risk factor management, data after catheter ablation remain observational and require confirmation. A survey of the writing group shows that 96% recommend weight loss as part of a comprehensive risk factor management strategy for patients with AF, including those who are being evaluated for an AF ablation procedure. Eighty-eight percent of the writing group consider a patient’s BMI when discussing the risks, benefits, and outcomes of AF ablation with a patient being evaluated for an AF ablation procedure. One limitation to enacting a weight loss program is that only 34% of the writing group members currently have ready access to a weight loss clinic at their center.
