How it works

Obesity causes a two-fold increased risk of developing left ventricular hypertrophy. — Visceral Fat and Heart Damage
Unlike skeletal muscle strengthened by training, a heart thickened by chronic metabolic and pressure stress becomes stiffer and may lose its ability to relax or pump effectively. — Visceral Fat and Heart Damage
Multiple mechanisms converge on the left ventricle including elevated blood pressure, elevated insulin, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and direct inflammatory exposure from epicardial fat. — Visceral Fat and Heart Damage
The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy ranges from 36% to 41%, depending on diagnostic criteria, making it a common structural condition rather than a rare outcome. — Visceral Fat and Heart Damage
In one study, 70.7% of obese patients had left ventricular remodeling before weight loss; after weight loss, 58.8% exhibited normal left ventricular geometry. — Visceral Fat and Heart Damage
