Cardiac function and atrial conduction time in morbid obesity: Insights from an echocardiographic case-control study
Morbid obesity is associated with prolonged ACT and increased echocardiographic measurements of left atrial septum thickness, posterior wall thickness, and MV.PAV.1. These findings suggest that morbid obesity adversely affects atrial conduction and cardiac structure, highlighting the need for targeted cardiovascular risk management in obese patients.
