Abstract Background Evidence on the impact of obesity on catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) is scarce. Method and Results We queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database to determine the hospital outcomes and procedural complications of VT ablation among the obese and nonobese populations. Obesity was associated with a more prolonged length of stay (p
