Increasing severity of obesity is associated with multiple characteristics that may contribute to the development or worsening of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Echocardiography demonstrated increased CO with obesity, but not estimated right atrial (RA) pressure or E/e′.

Can you please explain the concept of an obesity paradox? Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. 2, 3] This association is more pronounced for those with class I obesity, which is a body mass index (BMI) between 30-35 kg/m2.

Association between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and cardiac dysfunction in severe obesity. BMI, body mass index; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LASct, left atrial contractile strain. Abstract Aim Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays a role in obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
