title: [Obesity in elderly women and its impact on miocardial remodeling].
abstract: The article presents data of the research aimed at the study of obesity in elderly women and interrelations of obesity, its type and severity with changes in the structure and function of the myocardium. The results showed that more than half of elderly women had obesity, mostly mild with a redistribution of adipose tissue in the region of the anterior abdominal wall. Significant left ventricular remodeling and diastolic dysfunction often develop in the patients with obesity than in non-obese ones and depend on the obesity severity and type.
