Obesity is one of the most common disorders of metabolism in human beings having increasing prevalence in both developed and developing countries. The dramatic increase in the prevalence of obesity and its strong association with cardiovascular disease world over has resulted in unprecedented interest in understanding the effects of obesity on the cardiovascular system. From the present study we concluded that in young overweight and obese adult subjects systolic function was rather improved but none of these subjects were having diastolic dysfunction except IVRT on echocardiography. There were no significant ECG changes as far as cardiovascular physiological parameters are concerned. Our data was derived from young healthy adults and thus cannot be applied generally for all age groups even if individuals are healthy but study can definitely provides a foundation for future studies in pathological conditions. However, there is scope for further studies, like a prospective study can be undertaken in the same subjects after some more time to know any further change in cardiovascular physiological parameters in long standing obesity. Furthermore, a gender specific different age groups study in long standing obesity can also be undertaken for more clarity.
