Symptoms and signs of obesity cardiomyopathy occur most often in patients whose actual body weight is ≥ 75% over ideal body weight or whose body mass index is ≥ 40 kg/m2.66–74 The clinical syndrome of obesity cardiomyopathy occurs in approximately 10% of such persons and typically in those with a duration of obesity ≥ 10 years.66–74
