If you are obese then it means you are comparatively less susceptible to heart failure death. This divulgence may definitely keep you agape. However, this fact has been proclaimed true by a preliminary study, which studied data on almost 109,000 heart failure episodes in more than 80,000 patients.
Interestingly, it was also found that the heart of the patients with higher BMI was able to pump more blood out with each contraction. Besides, it was also found that as the level of BMI rose among patients there death rate came down slightly.
Quite an amazing study this was because earlier there was common notion that obesity means a great threat to heart. It would also not be grandiloquent to say that this new study stands confronting studies conducted earlier.Earlier, too a study had dubbed obesity good for patients with MHD. However, this fact can also not be obviated that obesity give rise to several other problem too, which can be more deadly than heart attack.
