Cardiac transcriptome analysis in obesity-related hypertension.
Obesity is associated with volumetric arterial hypertension and with early increase in heart rate and decreased heart rate variability. The consequences of obesity-related hypertension on heart gene regulation are poorly known and were investigated in a model of obesity-related hypertension induced by high fat diet in dogs. When compared with control animals (n=6), a 9-week high fat diet (n=6) ...
متن کاملObesity-Related Hypertension in Children
Obesity and hypertension have both been on the rise in children. Each is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk and both track into adulthood, increasing the prevalence of heart disease and related morbidity and mortality. All children should be screened for hypertension, but children with comorbid obesity may not only particularly benefit from the screening but may also prove th...
متن کاملObesity-related hypertension?: weighing the evidence.
Overweight and obesity are established risk factors for hypertension, and hypertension is approximately twice as prevalent in the obese than in the nonobese. The prevalence of overweight and obesity has been increasing in the United States for at least the past 2 decades. These increases have occurred in children, adolescents, and adults, as well as in both genders and in all racial/ethic group...
متن کاملAdipocytes, aldosterone and obesity-related hypertension.
Understanding the mechanisms linking obesity with hypertension is important in the current obesity epidemic as it may improve therapeutic interventions. Plasma aldosterone levels are positively correlated with body mass index and weight loss in obese patients is reported to be accompanied by decreased aldosterone levels. This suggests a relationship between adipose tissue and the production/sec...
متن کاملObesity-related hypertension: possible pathophysiological mechanisms.
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, but despite a century of clinical and basic research, the discrete etiology of this disease is still not fully understood. The same is true for obesity, which is recognized as a major global epidemic health problem nowadays. Obesity is associated with an increasing prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk f...
