Purpose
Obesity contributes to diseases of the heart—including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction—which often are refractory to treatment. This symposium explores the epidemiology and pathophysiology of obesity-related heart diseases, as well as the role of emerging therapeutics and issues related to prevention, and access to treatment.
