Why the study?
Does obesity influence left ventricular geometry differently between men and women?
Does obesity influence left ventricular geometry differently between men and women?
Obesity has a substantially greater impact on left ventricular geometry in women compared to men, suggesting sex-specific biological factors related to adiposity.
Supports sex-specific obesity effects on LV geometry; leaves open whether this alters risk stratification or management.
Obesity influences left ventricular geometry substantially more in women than in men, possibly due to biological factors specifically associated with female adiposity.
