Abstract
Obesity is a long established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases including heart failure. However, recent evidence suggests that obese patients with heart failure report more favorable outcomes than heart failure patients with normal weights. This paper presents, reviews, and discusses some of the currently available evidence describing the association between obesity and heart failure, especially obesity as a risk factor for heart failure and the obesity-heart failure paradox. Pathophysiological evidence and data from longitudinal studies are considered.
