obesity, 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 کاملObesity, weight reduction and survival in heart failure.
We read with great interest the study by Horwich et al. (1), and while we generally agree with their intriguing findings alluding to better survival with higher body mass index (BMI) among patients with severe systolic heart failure (HF), we strongly object to their conclusions suggesting that promotion of weight loss “may even be potentially harmful.” In a much smaller cohort of patients with ...

متن کاملBody mass and survival in patients with chronic heart failure without cachexia: the importance of obesity.
BACKGROUND Cachexia in chronic heart failure carries a poor prognosis, but little is known about the influence of body mass on the prognosis of noncachectic heart failure patients. METHODS We studied 589 consecutive chronic heart failure patients followed for at least a year, in whom there were accurate baseline data for body mass. RESULTS Average age was 64.5 +/- 12.4 years, left ventricul...
متن کاملObesity and the risk of heart failure.
BACKGROUND Extreme obesity is recognized to be a risk factor for heart failure. It is unclear whether overweight and lesser degrees of obesity also pose a risk. METHODS We investigated the relation between the body-mass index (the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) and the incidence of heart failure among 5881 participants in the Framingham Heart Study (mean ag...
