Abstract
This paper is addressed to the cardiologist, who in his or her clinical practice interacts with and treats cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity and its complications; it may also be useful for other specialists, to whom patients with excess weight may be referred. We hope that the cardiologist will consider obesity as a preventable and treatable disease that contributes to overall cardiovascular risk, and will deploy a strong commitment to cope with this disease. To this purpose, the text is composed of 8 questions aimed to cover relevant topics for the clinical practice.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
