Severe Obesity Impairs Heart Muscle Function
Cardiologist and researcher David Kass reports that severe obesity significantly impacts the heart muscles' ability to contract. Research indicates that clinical features of patients with severe obesity are remarkably different from other groups. Kass suggests that the impact on heart muscle contraction may be reversible. The findings were discussed in relation to body mass index as a key differentiator in cardiovascular health.
