Obesity and Heart Failure: Understanding the Paradox
نویسندگان
چکیده
Obesity is a long established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases including heart failure. However, recent evidence suggests that obese patients with failure report more favorable outcomes than normal weights. This paper presents, reviews, and discusses some of the currently available describing association between obesity failure, especially as obesity-heart paradox. Pathophysiological data from longitudinal studies are considered.

متن کاملObesity and the obesity paradox in heart failure.
Obesity is a growing public health problem in the general population, and significantly increases the risk for the development of new-onset heart failure (HF). However, in the setting of chronic HF, overweight and mild to moderate obesity is associated with substantially improved survival compared to normal-weight patients. Evidence exists for an "obesity paradox" in HF, with the majority of da...
متن کاملObesity and heart failure prognosis: paradox or reverse epidemiology?
Obesity is a problem reaching epidemic proportions in westernized society and is a major cause of preventable death. Obesity has many adverse effects on coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors and is probably an independent risk factor for CAD events. Epidemiological studies have clearly shown a strong relationship between obesity and increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in...
متن کاملImpact of obesity and the obesity paradox on prevalence and prognosis in heart failure.
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and worldwide. Considering the adverse effects of obesity on left ventricular (LV) structure, diastolic and systolic function, and other risk factors for heart failure (HF), including hypertension and coronary heart disease, HF incidence and prevalence, not surprisingly, is markedly increased in obese patients. Nevertheless, as with ...
