A weight reduction and weight maintenance program with long-lasting improvement in left ventricular mass and blood pressure.
Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is associated with hypertension and increased left ventricular mass (LVM). Maintenance of reduced weight has been a matter of recent concerns in the treatment of obese subjects. This study was conducted to confirm the effect of the addition of exercise to diet on maintenance of body weight in a weight reduction program. In addition, ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular mass reduction during salt depletion in arterial hypertension.
Long-term therapy with antihypertensive agents that reduce sympathetic nervous system activity has been demonstrated by echocardiographic measurements to reverse left ventricular hypertrophy. This investigation evaluated the effects of salt depletion obtained by both chlorthalidone (25 mg/day) and severe restriction of salt intake (about 1016 mg Na+/day) on left ventricular mass (LVM) in as sho...
متن کاملShort term reduction of left ventricular mass in primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by octreotide injections.
Growth factors have been shown to be associated with primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Octreotide, a long acting somatostatin analogue, can prevent the stimulating effect of growth factors and decrease the left ventricular mass in patients with acromegaly. In the light of these results, three patients with primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were treated with subcutaneous octreotide (50 micr...
متن کاملAdrenalectomy is comparable with medical treatment for reduction of left ventricular mass in primary aldosteronism: meta-analysis of long-term studies.
BACKGROUND Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with an increase in left ventricular (LV) mass beyond the amount needed to compensate the hypertension-related workload. Available evidence suggests effectiveness of surgical treatment of PA in decreasing LV mass, whereas data on medical treatment are controversial. We have conducted a meta-analysis of long-term follow-up studies on surgical a...
متن کاملRelation Between Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, Successful Long-Term Weight Reduction, and Right Ventricular Function.
This study sought to examine the relationships between right ventricular (RV) function and geometry, morbid obesity with and without the metabolic syndrome, and the effect of long-term weight loss. Obese (n = 153, BMI 41.2 ± 8.7 kg/m(2)) and healthy non-obese control subjects (n = 38, BMI 25.5 ± 3.3 kg/m(2)) of similar age and gender distribution were prospectively studied during the course of ...
