Among the topics covered: The effects of obesity on myocardial metabolism, morphology and function An in-depth analysis of the evolution of obesity cardiomyopathy Obesity's interrelationship with sleep disordered breathing The effects of weight loss on obesity-related cardiopulmonary abnormalities Obesity and coronary artery diseaseThis last topic has seldom if ever been so comprehensively reviewed. Indeed, the entire text provides the most in-deth critical analysis yet of how obesity affects the heart and lung.Recommended for anyone working in the field of obesity or providing medical care to obese patients.
