This paper is addressed to the cardiologist, who in his or her clinical practice interacts with and treats cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity and its complications; it may also be useful for other specialists, to whom patients with excess weight may be referred. We hope that the cardiologist will consider obesity as a preventable and treatable disease that contributes to overall cardiovascular risk, and will deploy a strong commitment to cope with this disease. To this purpose, the text is composed of 8 questions aimed to cover relevant topics for the clinical practice.

Abstract
This paper is addressed to the cardiologist, who in his or her clinical practice interacts with and treats cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity and its complications; it may also be useful for other specialists, to whom patients with excess weight may be referred. We hope that the cardiologist will consider obesity as a preventable and treatable disease that contributes to overall cardiovascular risk, and will deploy a strong commitment to cope with this disease. To this purpose, the text is composed of 8 questions aimed to cover relevant topics for the clinical practice.
