What is the association between obesity and diastolic dysfunction: Obesity or obesity phenotype ?

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Obesity is currently one of the greatest public health issues worldwide. It is associated with several alterations in cardiac morphology and ventricular function. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction occurs commonly in obese individuals, particularly the severely obese and the hypertensive obese. The influence on diastolic function seems to be multifactorial and may be a result of effects of adipose tissue as well as obesity-related comorbidities.
