New Study Confirms Obesity-Heart Attack Link

A recent study at John Hopkins, said to be one of the largest of its kind, yet again associates severe obesity to prolonged inflammation of heart tissues and subsequent heart failure. The study leader confirm that even if obese people feel otherwise healthy, there are measurable and early chemical signs of damage to their heart, beyond the well-known implications for diabetes and high blood pressure

The latest findings will be published in the forthcoming issue of the journal of the American College of Cardiology.
