CardioPractice - Volume 24

Obesity, declared a disease by the European Commission in 2021, represents one of the most serious health problems worldwide. A recent ESC clinical consensus statement addressed the complex interplay between obesity, cardiovascular risk (CV) factors and CV disease manifestations, summarising the impact of weight loss on CV outcomes. The December edition of CardioPractice highlights the key points of this important document and offers two videos/podcasts illuminating the global management of obesity in daily practice and the importance of physical activity for the obese patient.
