There are many factors that influence the propensity to become obese with the genetics behind how individuals gain weight and become obese less understood than diet and exercise. • Animal models including mice and rats have been successful at illustrating some of the genetics of obesity and from these genetic animal models the effects of obesity have been shown to be very adverse on the cardiac system.
