Abstract:

Background: A variety of adaptations/alterations in cardiac structure and function occur in the individual as adipose tissue accumulates in excess amount. As a whole, overweight/obesity predispose or is associated with numerous cardiac complications such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, and sudden death through its impact on the cardiovascular system. This study was undertaken to highlight the effect of electrocardiographic changes & heart rate variability in obese and non obese on medical students.

Materials and Methods: The study included 100 healthy students, 50 obese and 50 normal individuals in the age group of 18-22. ECG was recorded in those students at rest in supine position.

Results:  There was an increase in heart rate, P wave, PR interval, QTC and decrease in QRS complex, QT interval among obese individuals which were statistically significant.

Conclusion: Remedial measures, policy programs can be formulated as a part of intervention towards the obesity prevention leading to sudden death because of cardiac arrest. Early intervention should be in the form of life style modification and fitness education is provided as a part of their course curriculum.

Key Words: Electro cardiogram (ECG), Medical graduates, Heart rate variability.
