Severe Obesity and Left Ventricular Geometry
Obesity is a condition encompassing a broad range of clinical presentations from a nearly normal status to a life-threatening disease. In the absence of a permeating campaign raising the level of attention to the problem of obesity, many obese individuals see their doctors only for esthetic reasons. A large number of subjects, in fact, seem to live quite well even with moderate or severe obesit...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy in severe obesity: interactions among blood pressure, nocturnal hypoxemia, and body mass.
Obese subjects have a high prevalence of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. It is unclear to what extent LV hypertrophy results directly from obesity or from associated conditions, such as hypertension, impaired glucose homeostasis, or obstructive sleep apnea. We tested the hypothesis that LV hypertrophy in severe obesity is associated with additive effects from each of the major comorbidities....
متن کاملSexual dimorphism in obesity-mediated left ventricular hypertrophy.
In the present study we investigated the influence of sex difference on the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) during obesity. Male and female C57BL/6J mice were fed for 15 and 25 wk with a high-fat diet (HFD) or low-fat control diet (LFD). Analysis of body composition, monitoring of body weight (BW), and echocardiographic analysis were performed, as well as analysis of expressio...
متن کاملExercise in Dogs With Severe Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
The effects of exercise on regional myocardial blood flow and function were examined in the presence and absence of 13-adrenergic receptor blockade in 10 adult conscious dogs with severe left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy induced by aortic banding in puppies, which increased the LV weight/body weight ratio by 87%. Exercise at the most intense level studied increased LV systolic (+87±8 mm Hg) and...
متن کاملechocardiographic assessment of inappropriate left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with diastolic dysfunction
background: early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (lvm) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy (lvh) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. this study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction is associated with lvh and inappropriate lvm. methods: one hundred and twenty five uncomplicated hypertensi...
