Abstract 146: Efficacy of a Nurse-Led Risk Factor Modification Program in Achieving Weight Loss in Obese Atrial Fibrillation Patients [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusions: A pragmatic nurse-led risk factor modification strategy focusing on lifestyle changes reinforced by frequent patient follow-up can be effective in achieving weight loss in obese atrial fibrillation patients. This single point of care approach is a potentially sustainable model for maintaining weight loss in this population.
