ABSTRACT
In our study, 200 obese individuals with body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2 were evaluated by echocardiography. We conclude that young and otherwise healthy obese subjects also exhibit alterations in left ventricle (LV) structure and function manifested by concentric LV remodeling and impaired diastolic functions. These early abnormalities in LV structure and function may have important implications in explaining the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with obesity.
