Associations between waist circumference, central obesity, and the presence of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients with heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reportedly, there is a clear correlation between waist circumference (WC) and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there is no specific discussion about the relationship between WC and non-valvular AF (NVAF) patients with heart failure. Our main purpose was to study the relationship between WC, central obesity (CO), and NVAF patients with heart failure.

Methods

This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 3,435 patients with NVAF in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled. The targeted independent variable and the dependent variable were WC and CO and the presence of NVAF with heart failure, respectively. Univariate, multiple regression, and subgroup analyses were used to analyze their relatio
