Effects of isolated obesity on systolic and diastolic left ventricular function

Background: Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A direct effect of isolated obesity on cardiac function is not well established. Objective: To determine the direct effect of different grades of isolated obesity on echocardiographic indices of systolic and dia...
