There is strong relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease including coronary artery disease(CAD). However, the literature has shown better outcomes in higher obese patients who undergo percutaneous cardiovascular interventions for CAD, a phenomenon known as the obesity paradox(OX). In this review, we performed extensive search for OX in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. We also discussed possible mechanism OX and disparities in different race and sex.
