Obesity and Cardiovascular Diseases

Obesity and Cardiovascular Diseases

Elevated obesity levels heighten the likelihood of cardiovascular disease, particularly heart failure and coronary heart disease. The increased risk stems from alterations in body composition that impact hemodynamics and alter heart structure. Inflammatory cytokines produced by adipose tissue can induce cardiac dysfunction and support the development of atherosclerotic plaques. The mechanisms underlying the heightened cardiovascular risk associated with obesity involve these physiological changes, emphasizing the intricate relationship between obesity and cardiovascular health.
