Abstract

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the impact of obesity on catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) is scarce.

METHOD AND RESULTS: We queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database to determine the hospital outcomes and procedural complications of VT ablation among the obese and nonobese populations. Obesity was associated with a more prolonged length of stay (

CONCLUSION: VT ablation could be performed relatively safely among patients with obesity.
