Adipokines and the Right Ventricle: The MESA-RV Study
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with changes in both right (RV) and left (LV) ventricular morphology, but the biological basis of this finding is not well established. We examined whether adipokine levels were associated with RV morphology and function in a population-based multiethnic sample free of clinical cardiovascular disease. METHODS We examined relationships of leptin, resistin, TNF-α...
متن کاملThe renin-angiotensin system and right ventricular structure and function: The MESA-Right Ventricle Study
The pulmonary vasculature is an important site of renin-angiotensin metabolism. While angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (collectively AIABs) have a role in left ventricular (LV) disease, the impact of AIABs on right ventricular (RV) function is unknown. AIAB use was determined by medication inventory during the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis ba...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Morphology and the Onset of Dyspnea: The MESA-Right Ventricle Study
BACKGROUND The association of right ventricular (RV) structure and function with symptoms in individuals without cardiopulmonary disease is unknown. We hypothesized that greater RV mass and RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), smaller RV stroke volume (RVSV), and lower RV ejection fraction (RVEF) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in participants free of clinical cardiovascular di...
متن کاملBuilding the right ventricle.
Abnormal development of the arterial pole of the heart underlies a significant fraction of congenital heart defects. Critical steps in arterial pole development are formation of the myocardial outflow tract (or conotruncal region) and its subsequent division into separate left and right ventricular outlets. Division of the cylindrical outflow tract is a complex morphogenetic process driven by c...
متن کاملPericardial Fat and Right Ventricular Morphology: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis- Right Ventricle Study (MESA-RV)
BACKGROUND Pericardial fat has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-related cardiovascular disease. Proposed mechanisms may be relevant in right heart failure, but relationships between pericardial fat and right ventricular (RV) morphology have not been explored. METHODS The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis is a prospective cohort that enrolled participants without clinical car...
