The study comprised 114 patients: 54 women (age: 63.8 \u00b1 6.3, BMI 31 \u00b1 4 kg\/m2), and 60 men (age: 60.7 \u00b1 6.7; BMI 31 \u00b1 3 kg\/m2) with paroxysmal, persistent and long-standing persistent AF. They had been scheduled to undergo cryoballoon (men n = 30; women n = 30) and radiofrequency (RF) ablation (men n = 30; women n = 24) using the CARTO-mapping. The blood was collected at baseline and 24 h after ablation. The rate of ERAF was comparable after cryoballoon and RF ablation and constituted 18% in women and 22% in men. Almost 70 parameters were selected to perform univariate and multivariate analysis and to create a multivariate logistic regression (MLR) model of ERAF in the obese men and women. The MLR analysis was performed by forward stepwise logistic regression with three variables. It was only possible to create the MLR model for the group of obese men. It revealed a poor predictive value with an unsatisfactory sensitivity of 31%. Men with ERAF: smokers (OR 39.25, 95% CI 1.050\u20131467.8, p = 0.0021), with a higher ST2 elevation (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.115\u20132.536, p = 0.0021) who received dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (OR 0.042, 95% CI 0.002\u20131.071, p = 0.0021) less frequently. Our results indicate a complex pathogenesis of ERAF dependent on the patients\u2019 gender.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10122694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,18]],"date-time":"2021-06-18T11:19:20Z","timestamp":1624015160000},"page":"2694","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Predictors of Early-Recurrence Atrial Fibrillation after Catheter Ablation in Women and Men with Abnormal Body Weight"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5660-1268","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Budzianowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Nowa S\u00f3l Multidisciplinary Hospital, 67-100 Nowa S\u00f3l, Poland"},{"name":"Collegium Medicum, University of Zielona G\u00f3ra, 65-046 Zielona G\u00f3ra, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaros\u0142aw","family":"Hiczkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Nowa S\u00f3l Multidisciplinary Hospital, 67-100 Nowa S\u00f3l, Poland"},{"name":"Collegium Medicum, University of Zielona G\u00f3ra, 65-046 Zielona G\u00f3ra, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"\u0141ojewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Nowa S\u00f3l Multidisciplinary Hospital, 67-100 Nowa S\u00f3l, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5846-6239","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edyta","family":"Kawka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-806 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Rutkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-806 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6291-0814","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Korybalska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathophysiology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-806 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eux274","article-title":"2017 HRS\/EHRA\/ECAS\/APHRS\/SOLAECE expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation","volume":"20","author":"Calkins","year":"2018","journal-title":"Europace"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"352","DOI":"10.1007\/s00380-018-1244-z","article-title":"Predictors of atrial fibrillation early recurrence following cryoballoon ablation of pulmonary veins using statistical assessment and machine learning algorithms","volume":"34","author":"Budzianowski","year":"2019","journal-title":"Heart Vessel."},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"597","article-title":"Weight loss-dependent and-independent effects of moderate calorie restriction on endothelial cell markers in obesity","volume":"68","author":"Korybalska","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
