Cardiac Remodeling Patterns in Severe Obesity According to Arterial Hypertension Grade.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to correlate the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) patterns according to severe obesity and arterial hypertension (AHT) grades.

Methods: A cross-sectional prospective study was conducted in 379 patients with severe obesity. Obesity was classified according to the BMI in the following: morbidly obese (MO; 40 < BMI < 50 kg/m) and super obese (SO; BMI > 50 kg/m).
