Researchers link obesity to irregular heart rhythms, suggesting NOX2 protein as a potential treatment target.

Researchers found that obesity can lead to irregular heart rhythms by altering the body's biochemistry, which damages tissues and disrupts normal heart functions. The study suggests that targeting the NOX2 protein could offer new treatment strategies to prevent or reduce the severity of these irregular heart rhythms in obese individuals. Understanding the genetic pathways involved may also lead to more personalized treatments.
