Impact of body mass index on left ventricular mass.
BACKGROUND Obesity is an independent factor implicated in left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and increased left ventricular mass. Early detection of increased LV mass in obese patients has prognostic and therapeutic implications. METHODS This case series was carried out in Choudhry Pervaiz Ellahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan from March to August 2011. A total of 100 consecutive patients inc...
متن کاملImpact of different grades of body mass index on left ventricular structure and function.
Overweight and obesity influences left ventricular structure and function. WHO Western Pacific Region in 2000 recommended lower cutoff for overweight (Body Mass Index-BMI > or = 23.0) and obesity (Body Mass Index-BMI > or = 25.0) in Asians. However, studies considering the new recommendations of body mass index (BMI) are lacking. The present study investigated the impact of different grades of ...
متن کاملBody mass index, type 2 diabetes, and left ventricular function
A recent study found that among individuals with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 55%, global longitudinal strain was significantly lower in overweight patients (i.e., body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2) with, but not in those without, type 2 diabetes mellitus. These results contrast previous observations of body mass index as a significant predictor of incident diastolic dysfunction an...
متن کاملThe Impact of Body Mass Index on Pregnancy Outcome
Background & aim: Pre-pregnancy obesity is considered as a significant predictor for neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Several studies have indicated conflicting associations between body mass index (BMI) and pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of pre-pregnancy BMI on adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods:Thiscohort study was conducted from 2010 to 2013 in Qa...
متن کاملEffect of Body Mass Index on Left Ventricular Mass in Career Male Firefighters
Left ventricular (LV) mass is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events; increased LV mass is common among US firefighters and plays a major role in firefighter sudden cardiac death. We aim to identify significant predictors of LV mass among firefighters. Cross-sectional study of 400 career male firefighters selected by an enriched randomization strategy. Weighted analyses were ...
