Abstract:
In recent decades, the prevalence of obesity has increased significantly, leading to an epidemic at the global level. Obesity is associated with various metabolic alterations and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The most devastating manifestation of cardiovascular disease is sudden cardiac death (SCD), leading to substantial years of potential life lost worldwide. Obesity-related SCD is an increasingly important public health problem and warrants a specific investigative focus on improved risk stratification and prevention. In this review, we summarize the current evidence regarding management of SCD in obesity and discuss knowledge gaps as well as future directions in this field.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
