متن کاملObesity, Heart Failure, and Obesity Paradox
The incidence and prevalence of obesity are fast increasing worldwide. Various indices have been used to measure and assess obesity. The body mass index (BMI) is the most common and practical of these indices. Overweight and obesity exert considerable adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. These effects are mediated through various neurohormonal and cytokine pathways, most of which are i...
متن کاملMetabolic mechanisms in heart failure.
Although neurohumoral antagonism has successfully reduced heart failure morbidity and mortality, the residual disability and death rate remains unacceptably high. Though abnormalities of myocardial metabolism are associated with heart failure, recent data suggest that heart failure may itself promote metabolic changes such as insulin resistance, in part through neurohumoral activation. A detrim...
متن کاملMechanisms of diastolic dysfunction in heart failure.
Abnormalities of diastole are common to most forms of congestive heart failure (HF). Diastolic function is broadly defined as the ability of the heart to fill adequately and at normal pressure to charge the ventricular pump for each subsequent contraction. It is determined by both active and passive processes occurring at the level of the myocyte, extracellular matrix, and left ventricular cham...
متن کاملMechanisms of Wasting in Heart Failure
It has been established for centuries that body wasting and changes in body composition play important roles in patients with chronic diseases. This is also true for patients with heart failure (HF).1 For clinicians not actively involved in this area of research, however, it may be difficult to decipher the complex and sometimes confusing terminology used in this context. Cachexia, body wasting...
