Impaired left ventricular function in obesity?
We read with interest the findings of Sasso et al. regarding the effects of insulin on left ventricular function during exercise in obese subjects. The authors conclude that their results ‘suggest a metabolic pathogenesis for the impaired left ventricular function in obesity’. This may be true, but the data they divulge do not support this conclusion. Most importantly, their interpretation that...
متن کاملImprovement of impaired diastolic left ventricular function after diet-induced weight reduction in severe obesity
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Obesity is independently associated with left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and altered cardiac morphology. Morbidity and mortality in patients with diastolic dysfunction are similar to values observed in patients with systolic heart failure. We hypothesized that dysfunctional cardiac responses in people with obesity are reversible after weight loss. Thus, we stud...
متن کاملImpaired left-ventricular cardiac function in male GPR30-deficient mice.
G-protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) has been reported to act as a membrane-bound estrogen receptor that is involved in the mediation of non-genomic estradiol signalling. In this study, we demonstrated that male, but not female, GPR30-deficient mice suffer from impaired left‑ventricular cardiac function. Left ventricles from male mutant mice were enlarged. There were no malformations in the va...
متن کاملImpaired Left Ventricular Function in Alcoholic Cirrhosis With Ascites
Left ventricular function was assessed in 10 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and ascites without clinical evidence of heart disease. In the resting state pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP) was normal (average 9.7 mm Hg), cardiac output (CO) was elevated (average 9.7 L/min) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was low (average 825 dynes-sec-cm-5). During infusion of angiotensin in a dose suffici...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
