Obesity and CVD: A Complex Relationship
This six-module course explores the complex interrelationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The modules explore how obesity correlates with CVD risk, considering the impact of obesity on the heart and the interaction of CVD with obesity-related complications.
The controversial idea of the ‘obesity paradox’ – the suggestion that obesity may confer a "survival advantage" among patients with certain conditions – is also considered. Management plans are presented, including behavioural, pharmacological and surgical approaches. The course is an essential resource for all health professionals treating patients with obesity and heart disease. The course is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French.
