2024
Background: Obesity is associated with alterations in cardiac structure and haemodynamics leading to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. It is associated with cardiac remodeling resulting in hypertrophy of the left ventricle (LV) with a predominantly concentric pattern. LV remodeling and fibrosis induce mechanical and electrical dysfunction of the myocardial tissue,…
