Abstract
Obese Patients: The Most Prone to Heart Disease, Yet the Least Benefiting from Cardiac Imaging and Treatment Technology
Morbid obesity seems to be spreading as an epidemic. With a prevalence of 10 %, it is the cause of many illnesses and co- morbidities, specifically heart disease. Most hospitals in the United States have neither the facilities nor the equipment to accommodate obese patients. This makes adequate care difficult to offer in some cases.
