Abstract

Abstract:

Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease, a statement released by the American Heart Association on April 22, 2021, gives a summary of the impact of obesity on the diagnosis, clinical management and prognosis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, sudden cardiac death and atrial fibrillation. In view of the present clinical management of cardiovascular diseases in China, this paper interprets the content of the statement in detail, aiming to provide guidance relevant to domestic cardiovascular management practices.

Key words: Cardiovascular diseases, Obesity, Coronary disease, Heart failure, Death, sudden, cardiac, Atrial fibrillation

摘要：

2021-04-22美国心脏协会（AHA）发布了一项关于《肥胖和心血管疾病》的声明，总结了肥胖对动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病、心力衰竭、心源性猝死以及心房颤动诊断、临床管理以及预后的影响。本文结合我国临床的实际情况对该声明内容进行解读，以期为我国心血管内科临床实践提供参考。
