Obesity Paradox: Origin and best way to assess severity in patients with systolic HF

Objective Obesity in patients with heart failure (HF) is a factor of better prognosis, supposedly partly because of the particular epidemiology of HF in this population. This study expected to compare the parameters of severity and mortality in patients with and without obesity, to better understand...

Zusammenfassung:Objective Obesity in patients with heart failure (HF) is a factor of better prognosis, supposedly partly because of the particular epidemiology of HF in this population. This study expected to compare the parameters of severity and mortality in patients with and without obesity, to better understand the origin of this paradox. Methods Two hundred twenty‐two patients with nonischemic HF and systolic dysfunction were divided into two groups according to their body mass index (≥30 vs.
