Expert Perspective: The Obesity Paradox with Salvatore Carbone, PhD

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

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.

Subepicardial adipose genes contribute to the deterioration of heart failure preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) raised rapidly in last decade and obesity are becoming the major cause to CAD progression, thus inducing heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Also, SASPs decreased in hypoxic fibroblasts after OGN knockdown.
