CRP and atrial fibrillation: The highest EATi was found in MUNW subjects, which paralleled to the higher insulin resistance and adjusted hs-CRP level; (ii) higher EAT was independently associated with an increase in metabolic components and impaired LA mechanics independent of LA volume, which were more pronounced in the NW groups; (iii) O phenotypes categorized using EAT and BMI improved reclassification of abnormal LA strain and AF event, especially for those with NW.
