There is strong evidence that obesity changes the structure of the heart, how it contracts and the electrical functions of the heart. Irregular heartbeats are related to the impaired electrical functions causing arterial fibrillation, which is the most common rhythm disorder of the heart.
The number of patients suffering from arterial fibrillation has tripled in Australia from the last 15 years and men are at the higher risk. This condition is also directly associated with strokes and fatal heart attacks. Obesity increases the blood pressure and thus the strain on the heart.
According to a current laboratory research, obesity results in the electrical abnormalities in the chamber of the heart. According to an estimation about two third of the cases of arterial fibrillation expected in 2020 will be solely due to obesity. The usual symptoms are feeling dizzy, chest pains and heart palpitations. Stroke is also a significant symptom of arterial fibrillation.
