[The physiology and physiopathology of the venous system in the obese].
The question of knowing to what extent varices occur more frequently in obese, rather than in non-obese, patients is answered variously in the epidemiological studies carried out. But if pathological venous conditions originate in, or are aggravated by, obesity, the question is raised: to what extent is the venous circulation modified by obesity? The authors discuss the factors at play in venous circulation in the obese patient. The effect of super alimentation on the venous system is demonstrated in the autopsy statistics on the occurrence of fatal pulmonary embolism, compared with the general nutrition index.
