Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Obesity affects more than 43 million Americans and is associated with an increased incidence of heart failure, sudden death, and cardiovascular death. We have shown that increasing obesity is independently associated with potentially detrimental LV structural and functional, and metabolic changes. Thus in order to increase our understanding of the effect of obesity on the heart, we wish to study the effect of significant weight loss on these parameters.
