Association of obesity phenotypes with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy in the general population

Increasing evidence doubts the benign nature of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). An investigation of the association of MHO and other obesity phenotypes with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH), a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), can give insight into the pathophysiological basis for increased risk of CVD linked to these phenotypes.
