In this study, one third of the hospitalized CVS patients were obese. AF and CHF with preserved EF were the most common cardiovascular presentations in obese patients. In patients with CVDs, obesity was associated with higher rates of comorbidities and in-hospital mortality. However, obesity measured by BMI alone was not an independent predictor of mortality in obese cardiac patients.
