Can obesity cause heart disease?

  With the improvement of our living standard, the incidence of obesity is also continued to rise, now obesity is the number one cause of heart disease, experts pointed out that women waist circumference more than 80 cm, men waist circumference more than 90 cm, will face the risk of heart disease. Obesity high incidence of heart disease, the heart can not bear the weight of obesity and heart disease is very close, especially hypertensive heart disease (high heart disease) and coronary artery atherosclerotic heart disease (coronary heart disease), obesity causes heart disease is the main mechanism: 1, too much fat accumulation, increase circulating blood volume, causing increased heart load and hypertension.  2, co-existing abnormal fat metabolism and high calorie intake caused by hyperlipidemia, resulting in coronary artery atherosclerosis and myocardial cell fat deposition, ventricular wall thickening, myocardial compliance is reduced.  3, accompanied by increased blood sugar and lipids to increase the viscosity of the blood, red blood cell oxygen-carrying capacity is weakened, insufficient oxygen supply to the myocardial cells.  4, obese people are not good at moving, excessive obesity and its activity is limited, which leads to the coronary artery collateral circulation is weakened, the heart compensation capacity is reduced.  It has been proposed that weight gain of more than 30% of the standard weight is a signal of coronary heart disease in the next 10 years.  The cure also has to go with, due to obesity caused by heart disease also has to be weight loss in order to go to the root of the disease. Heart disease patients exercise to lose weight must pay attention to the amount of exercise, a face to cause more pressure on the heart, triggering discomfort.
