The intersection of obesity and acute heart failure: cardiac structure and function and congestion across BMI categories
Among patients with AHF, those with overweight/obesity had greater biventricular volumes/area and LV mass, similar sonographic evidence of haemodynamic congestion and less pulmonary congestion than those with normal weight. The risk of 6-month HF hospitalization or death was similar across BMI groups.
