Obesity per se is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease exerting independent adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Despite this well documented link, the mechanisms by which obesity modulates cardiovascular risk are not well understood. Obesity is linked to a wide variety of cardiac changes, from subclinical diastolic dysfunction to end stage systolic heart failure. In addition, obesity causes changes in cardiac metabolism that make ATP production and utilization less efficient producing functional consequences that are linked to the increased rate of heart failure in this population. This review focuses on the cardiovascular structural and metabolic remodelling that occurs in obesity with and without co-morbidities and the potential links to increased mortality in this population. © 2014 S.

肥胖本身就是公认的心血管疾病风险因素,会对心血管系统产生独立的不良影响。尽管这种关联已有充分记录,但肥胖调节心血管风险的机制仍未完全明确。肥胖与多种心脏变化相关,从亚临床舒张功能障碍到终末期收缩性心力衰竭。此外,肥胖会导致心脏代谢发生变化,使ATP的产生和利用效率降低,从而产生与该人群心力衰竭发生率增加相关的功能后果。本综述重点关注肥胖患者无论有无合并症时发生的心血管结构和代谢重塑,以及该人群死亡率增加的潜在关联。© 2014 S. Karger GmbH, Freiburg。
