The scientists found that obese patients with heart failure mortality rate lower than that of patients with the same disease and normal weight. Scientists conducted a study that involved 28 people with heart failure. Participant observation was continued for 3 years. According to Dr. Antigone Oreopoulos of Edmontskogo University in Canada, there is evidence that a normal body mass index (BMI) is probably not ideal for people with heart failure. Heart failure usually occurs when the heart function greatly weakened, and it is not able to work efficiently. Scientists have the data from nine studies that examined to investigate the influence of BMI on mortality. This data is divided: the group of patients with reduced body weight, normal and overweight patients. The results showed that the mortality was compared in obese patients with a group of patients with normal body weight. To the surprise of scientists, obesity in patients with heart failure have a protective effect on mortality. Necessary, according to the specialists, more research has to be operated in order to find out how the excess weight reduces the risk of death in patients with failure of the heart muscle. You should also consider a similar effect of obesity on other cardiovascular disease, say scientists. Also, as mentioned above, people often misdiagnosed with obesity. Slim people often suffer from diseases that are caused by obesity.
