چکیده
Background and aim Obesity confers an enormous burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lipotoxicity has been implicated as a potential common pathway in myocyte dysfunction and ultimately apoptosis. Fat deposition in the peritoneum, the liver and around vascular structures has been linked to metabolic syndrome and subsequent cardiomyopathy. Therefore this study sought to determine the relationship between excess body fat and intracardiac lipids as assessed by 3T proton spectroscopy in women.

متن کاملThe effects of excess weight on cardiac strain and steatosis in adults and children
Background Excess body fat is a known risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and insulin resistance are closely interlinked, both in their causes (eg sedentary lifestyle, social class, diet & age) and effects (endothelial function, increased left ventricular mass, increased myocardial fatty acid uptake). Thus it has been difficult...

The ability to record the mechanical function of the heart is the principal value of the ballistocardiogram. In young healthy individuals the ballistocardiogram is consistently normal. Since overweight is apparently an important factor in the development of degenerative heart diseases, a study was undertaken to correlate excess weight in otherwise healthy young students with their respective ba...
