LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...
متن کاملCardiac structure and function in the obese: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study.
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major health problem in the Western world. Among obese subjects cardiac pathology is common, but conventional noninvasive imaging modalities are often suboptimal for detailed evaluation of cardiac structure and function. We investigated whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can better characterize possible cardiac abnormalities associated with obesity, ...
متن کاملComparison of Echocardiographic Abnormalities in Psoriasis Patients with the Control Group
Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by plaques covered with silvery scales. Psoriasis is highly prevalent in different countries in the world, including Iran. Several studies have reported a significant association between psoriasis and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between psoriasis and cardiac disease using echo...
متن کاملLeft ventricular diastolic dysfunction in obese women.
AIM To determine the direct effect of obesity on echocardiographic indices of diastolic left ventricular function METHODS 44 obese (BMI > or =25 kg/m2) and 45 normal weight women were studied. They had no other pathological conditions. Echocardiographic indices of diastolic function were obtained, and dysfunction was assumed when at least two values differed by > or =2 SD from the normal weig...
متن کاملEffect of obesity and overweight on left ventricular diastolic function: a community-based study in an elderly cohort.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the independent effect of increased body size on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. BACKGROUND Obese and overweight persons are at increased risk of heart failure. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is an asymptomatic condition associated with future heart failure. It is unclear whether obesity and overweight are independently asso...
متن کاملInfluence Ventricular of Mild to Moderate Obesity on Left Stress Filling Pattern in Hypertension
In resting condition, obese subjects are described as having impaired diastolic filling. To examine the effect of mild to moderate obesity on left ventricular diastolic performance during stress in hypertension, we determined the filling responses to dynamic submaximal exercise in 19 obese hypertensive patients (body mass index, 26 to 30 kg/m2) with a normal left ventricular structure, 19 agean...
