Biography
Amabile Luiza Cordenonsi is a researcher affiliated with Universidade do Contestado, Brazil. Her academic interests include cardiovascular health, obesity-related complications, metabolic risk factors, and preventive healthcare. She is interested in exploring the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease and the implications for early intervention and long-term health outcomes. Her research, titled “Cardiovascular Complications Associated with Obesity: A Systematic Review,” examines the association between obesity and cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and heart failure. Her work highlights the role of metabolic changes and chronic inflammation in cardiovascular disease development, emphasizing the importance of preventive strategies, health promotion, and effective weight management in reducing cardiovascular risk.
Abstract
Introduction:
Obesity is recognized as one of the main chronic non communicable diseases and constitutes an important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, significantly contributing to increased morbidity and mortality associated with systemic arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke.
Objective: To analyze, through a systematic review of the literature, the main cardiovascular complications associated with obesity.
Methodology: A search for scientific articles was conducted in the PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS databases, published between 2019 and 2024, using the descriptors “obesity”, “cardiovascular diseases”, and “risk factors”, combined with the Boolean operators AND and OR. Observational studies, clinical trials, and systematic reviews addressing the association between obesity and cardiovascular outcomes in adults were included.
Results:
A consistent association was observed between obesity and an increased risk of systemic arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, heart failure, and cardiovascular mortality. Excess adipose tissue was related to chronic systemic inflammation and metabolic alterations that promote endothelial dysfunction. Conclusion: Obesity constitutes an important modifiable risk factor for the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, and the implementation of health promotion strategies and body weight control is essential.
