As for the relationship between obesity and obesity, especially with heart disease, Dr. Amr Matar says:
• Obese patients are 3-5 times more likely to develop coronary artery tightness than a normal-weight human.
Obesity is a major cause of heart failure at the age of less than 40 years.
Obesity is a coaper to increase mortality from coronary artery patients.

As for the factors that lead to coronary artery distress due to obesity, he says:
• Obesity leads to increased cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood
This leads to the deposition of these arteries, which in turn leads to angina pain, which leads to a heart attack if the duration of the injury is prolonged without medical intervention.
• Excess weight leads to additional pregnancy on the heart muscle.
• Increased triglycerides associated with glycemic triglycerides cause scalable ability of the heart muscle.
