Obesity Cardiomyopathy: Pathophysiologic Factors and Nosologic ReevaluationBhatheja, Samit, Panchal, Hemang B., Ventura, Hector, Paul, Timir K. 01 August 2016 (has links)
Cardiovascular disease in populations with obesity is a major concern because of its epidemic proportion. Obesity leads to the development of cardiomyopathy directly via inflammatory mediators and indirectly by obesity-induced hypertension, diabetes and coronary artery diseases. The aim of this review article is to re-visit the available knowledge and the evidence on pathophysiologic mechanisms of obesity-related cardiomyopathy and to propose its placement into a specific category of myocardial disease.
