title: [Circulatory system in obese patients].
abstract: The epidemiology of obesity and a variety of coexisting organism's functional disturbances was presented. Dynamic changes in circulatory system in obese patients, a development of hypertension as well as changes in morphology of the heart muscle itself and its function were described. Hyperinsulinism and coagulation disorders were considered as more important etiopathological factors leading to heart failure or hypertension rather than obesity alone.
