In this statement, we summarize the impact of obesity on the diagnosis, clinical management, and outcomes of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias, especially sudden cardiac death and atrial fibrillation.

Obesity has an important role in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Obesity leads to structural and functional changes of the heart, which causes heart failure. The altered myocardial structure increases the risk of atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death.

Aug 30, 2024 · This clinical consensus statement by the European Society of Cardiology discusses current evidence on the epidemiology and aetiology of obesity; the interplay between obesity, cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac conditions; the clinical management of patients with cardiac disease and obesity; and weight loss strategies including lifestyle ...

Obesity is an epidemic in the United States. It is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and associated with reduced life expectancy. The adverse effects are related to direct impact of obesity on cardiovascular system and indirectly through its influence on risk factors.

Dec 7, 2022 · People living with overweight/obesity are at greater risk for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Increased adiposity (body fat), particularly visceral/abdominal fat, is linked to CV risk and CV disease (CVD) via multiple direct and indirect pathophysiological mechanisms.

May 6, 2021 · The impact of obesity on CV health starts in childhood. Obesity accelerates early atherosclerotic changes including the development of fatty streaks. Obesity is associated with elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia in children and young adults.

Mar 3, 2012 · Although there are multiple long-term deleterious health effects of excess weight, obesity as defined by BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 is associated with premature atherosclerosis, increased risk of myocardial infarction and heart failure, and decreased survival, largely because of cardiovascular deaths, particularly in extreme weight categories. 1,2 ...

Jul 15, 2021 · Obesity is associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Lifestyle counseling is integral to promoting improvements in diet and physical activity to reduce the risk of obesity and adverse CVD outcomes.
