OBJECTIVE Obesity is an important risk factor for heart failure in both women and men. Dyssynchrony between right and left ventricular contraction and relaxation has been identified as an independent predictor of heart failure. We examined the relationship of ventricular synchronization abnormalities with the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines in obese women at baseline and after sustained weight loss. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Echocardiographic parameters of ventricular dyssynchrony, circulating levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-18, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were investigated in 67 healthy, premenopausal obese women and 40 age-matched normal-weight women. RESULTS Compared with nonobese women, obese women had increased concentrations of CRP (P < 0.01), TNF-alpha (P < 0.01), IL-6 (P < 0.01), and IL-18 (P < 0.01). Moreover, obese women had a higher myocardial performance index (P < 0.02) and lower transmitral Doppler flow (P < 0.05), pulmonary venous flow analysis (P < 0.02), and ejection fraction (P < 0.05), indicating ventricular dyssynchrony. Concentrations of CRP, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were related to anthropometric indexes of obesity and to echocardiographic parameters of ventricular dyssynchrony. After 1 year of a multidisciplinary program of weight reduction, obese women lost at least 10% of their original weight. This was associated with reduction of cytokine (P < 0.01) and CRP (P < 0.02) concentrations and with improvement of echocardiographic parameters of ventricular dyssynchrony, which correlated with changes in adiposity, particularly visceral adiposity. CONCLUSIONS In obese women, ventricular dyssynchrony correlates with body fat, possibly through inappropriate secretion of cytokines. Weight loss represents a safe method for downregulating the inflammatory state and ameliorating cardiac function in obese women.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinopathies in young women. PCOS affects 6% and 8% of women in reproductive age. Hyperandrogenism is the hallmark of PCOS. Clinically, it is possible to observe hirsutism, acne, androgenic alopecia, and signs of virilization. Laboratory examination reveals increased androgen levels. Excessive androgen has an important r...
