Understanding Obesity-Related High Output Heart Failure and …
Obesity is the risk factor for heart disease and eventually leads to heart failure. High output heart failure is common in obese patients and is characterized by high cardiac output, decreased systemic vascular resistance, and increased oxygen consumption.
Obesity and the Risk of Heart Failure | NEJM
Aug 1, 2002 · Extreme obesity is recognized to be a risk factor for heart failure. It is unclear whether overweight and lesser degrees of obesity also pose a risk.
Obesity and Heart Failure: Focus on the Obesity Paradox

Obesity and Weight Loss Strategies for Patients With Heart Failure
Obesity is a common comorbidity among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), with the strongest pathophysiologic link of obesity being seen for HFpEF.
Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement …
Apr 22, 2021 · 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.
The Impact of Obesity on the Cardiovascular System - PMC
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.
Obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of heart failure. Heart failure affects about 38 million people worldwide, almost 6 million in the United States alone.

Obesity and cardiovascular disease: an ESC clinical consensus …
Aug 30, 2024 · Despite the increasingly appreciated link between obesity and a broad range of cardiovascular disease manifestations including atherosclerotic disease, heart failure, thromboembolic disease, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death, obesity has been underrecognized and sub-optimally addressed compared with other modifiable cardiovascular …
Obesity and Hypertension, Heart Failure, and Coronary Heart …
Obesity has significant negative impact on CVD, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias via its maladaptive effects on individual CVD risk factors and cardiac structure and function.
