Aim of study: To determine if there is relation between left cardiac chambers size ,BMI and waist circumference in obese individuals. 1. Primary outcomes: -To determine if there is relation between left cardiac chambers size ,BMI and waist circumference in obese individuals. 2. Secondary outcomes: * To determine the effect of obesity on heart health in obese individuals.
Body mass index and waist circumference are important measurements of our bodies as they can affect our health.The person is obese if he has BMI equal 30 or higher.Increased risk of obesity related disease occurs in men with waist circumference equal 102 cm or more and woman with waist circumference equals 88 cm or more. increasing BMI and waist circumference can increase risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus ,hypertension ,cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular accidents.There are many diseases that can affect left cardiac chambers size like aortic, mitral valvediseases,hypertension and atherosclerosis.Screening of patients heart by echocardiography allow us to detect changes in the muscle of heart and this allow doctors to put treatment plan to patient to prevent heart health from deterioration. In this study the investigators want to know if there an association between left cardiac chambers size ,BMI and waist circumference in obese individuals.
