Obesity may cause coronary heart disease, myocardial hypertrophy and other diseases, so that the heart function is impaired, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the whole body.
1. Coronary heart disease: obesity will first lead to an increase in the body’s lipid content, these increased lipids are likely to be deposited in the walls of the coronary arteries, so that the diameter of the coronary arteries gradually reduced, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart, angina pectoris may occur, and in severe cases will lead to myocardial infarction, a serious danger to personal safety.
2. Myocardial hypertrophy: obesity will also increase the weight of the body, and elevated body weight is an important risk factor for increased blood pressure. So obesity may also suffer from high blood pressure, resulting in an increase in heart ejection pressure, the heart to meet the body’s blood supply, cardiomyocytes will be compensatory hypertrophy, resulting in myocardial hypertrophy; if the blood pressure is too high so that the heart is difficult to compensate for the heart may also lead to heart failure.
Obesity on the heart of the harm is very big, in serious cases will also be life-threatening, and the harm of obesity is not limited to the heart. If obesity has caused damage to the heart, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to avoid delays.
