Differential Cardiac Remodeling in Overweight and Obesity: Insights from Noninvasive Imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Weight gain is associated with cardiac abnormalities, but the differences in cardiac remodeling between overweight and obesity (O&O) remain unclear. This study explored the structural and functional cardiac changes associated with O&O using noninvasive imaging.

Methods

A retrospective study included participants from August 2021 to July 2023. Clinical data, laboratory results, and echocardiography reports were collected, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was post-processed. Cardiac structural and functional parameters were compared among healthy weight, overweight, and obesity groups, and their relationships with body mass index (BMI) were analyzed.

Results

A total of 275 participants were included. Significant differences in left ventricular end-diastol
