Observational study reports all-cause mortality risk across body mass index levels in reduced ejection fraction, highlighting treatment considerations in the obesity paradox.
Patients with obesity have an overall higher cardiovascular risk, at the same time obesity could be associated with a better outcome in a certain subgroup of patients, a phenomenon known as the obesity paradox. Data are scarce in candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause mortality in patients eligible for CRT.
