Episode 134: Obesity, GLP 1s, and the Missing Link in AFib Care

In this Controversies in EP episode, #HRStv host Nashwa Abdulsalam, MBBS, is joined by Nicolette Bembenek, MD, to discuss a key gap in managing AFib. While electrophysiologists are comfortable prescribing antiarrhythmic drugs and performing ablations, there’s often no clear plan when it comes to addressing weight management. In this discussion, they explore the complex risk factors behind obesity, how it impacts AFib care, and where emerging therapies like GLP-1 receptor agonists may fit into the conversation.
