During the past twenty years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity and the cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS). In the United States alone, there are an estimated 42 million persons affected by CMS. 1 In addition to complications from diabetes and hypertension, this population is at risk for the development of both ischemic and nonischemic heart failure. 2 Although it is fairly well accepted that obesity and other aspects of CMS contribute to left ventricular (LV) remodeling and diastolic dysfunction, controversy does exist as to the effects of CMS on systolic function. 2 This is partly due to the fact that obesity is associated with an increase in plasma volume. 2 Thus, any load-dependent measures of systolic function, eg, cardiac output, are necessarily affected by alterations in volume as well as contractility. Different methods for indexing LV systolic function measures in obese subjects may also affect systolic function results. For example, cardiac output may be increased in obesity but when indexed for body surface area, cardiac index may be low. Thus, newer, more load-independent noninvasive methods are necessary for better characterizing LV systolic function.
