 Obesity is a state characterized by an absolute and relative excess of
the reserves fat stocked in the adipose tissue.
The fat mass is normally present in the organism
in reasonable quantity, proportional to the height. The exact
measure of the fat mass is very difficult, therefore, an obesity
corresponds more often to an overweight. It is a cardiovascular
risk factor. More

Welcome to Heart & Vessels
Dear Readers,
As we all know, cardiovascular diseases are very frequent in certain parts
of the world, and unfortunately responsible for a significant number of
deaths. These diseases are however relatively complex, and generally misunderstood
by patients, which after much debate, inspired me to produce this site.
Nevertheless, I must just add that it does not replace medical management
of cardiovascular diseases by a cardiologist or a general practitioner.
This site, written up by several cardiologists, aims at sharing the knowledge
we have of cardiovascular diseases, with patients affected by them, their
family, as well as the general public who are interested in the subject.
You will therefore find a wide range of information relating to the many
exisitng cardiovascular diseases and heart surgery, along with the cardiovascular
risk factors.
We hope that this information will be useful to you all, and help in your
understanding of cardiovascular diseases.
Yours sincerely,
P. LAURENT, MD, PhD,
