BACKGROUND
Low body mass index (BMI) has been associated with decreased survival in patients with heart failure (HF), although Obesity is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. HF patients with a relatively higher BMI tend to live longer, which is known as "Obesity Paradox". However,
Background: Bariatric surgery may improve heart failure outcome in morbidly obese patients. However, the safety of bariatric surgery has not been investigated in morbidly obese patients hospitalized for heart failure. We evaluated the
BACKGROUND
Obesity is a risk factor for heart failure (HF) and associated with poor outcomes after cardiac transplantation. We assessed change in total body weight, morbidity and mortality in obese heart failure patients after implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) compared to
This study evaluated the prevalence, profile, and prognosis of severe obesity in a large contemporary acute heart failure (AHF) population.
Better prognosis has been reported for obese heart failure (HF) patients than nonobese HF patients, but in other cardiovascular populations, this effect has not
BACKGROUND
Respiratory muscle weakness contributes to exercise intolerance in patients with heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)-a condition characterized by multiple comorbidities with few proven treatments. We aimed, therefore, to provide novel insight into the underlying
Cilostazol (Ciloz) a potent Type III phosphodiesterase inhibitor is effective against inflammation, insulin resistance and cardiomyopathy. However, the effect of Ciloz on obesity-associated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction has not been explored yet. Hence, we examined the effect of Ciloz on
OBJECTIVE
To review the direct unfavourable effect of obesity, the most prevalent nutritional and metabolic disease worldwide, on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
RESULTS
Obesity is associated with high chronic cardiac workload due to the need to supply more blood to peripheral tissue. The
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to test the hypothesis that older obese patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have significantly greater abdominal, cardiac, and intermuscular fat than healthy, age-matched controls, out of proportion to total body fat, and that these
Recent advances in genomics offer a smart option for predicting future risk of disease and prognosis. The objective of this study was to examine the prognostic value in heart failure (HF) patients, of a series of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).A The effect of obesity on the total body clearance (Cltot) of theophylline was evaluated in nonsmokers and smokers with and without congestive heart failure (CHF). The obese patients were compared with similar nonobese subjects with regard to age, sex, and disease state. The total patient population
In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are important comorbidities as well as major risk factors. Their conjoint impact on the myocardium provides insight into the HFpEF aetiology. We sought to investigate the association between
BACKGROUND: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is increasing in prevalence. Patients with CHF usually have co-morbid conditions, but these have been subjected to little research and consequently there is a paucity of guidance on how to manage them. Obesity and diabetes mellitus are common antecedents of
OBJECTIVE
To determine the association between obesity and outcomes in post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with systolic heart failure (HF).
RESULTS
Of the 6632 Eplerenone Post-Acute Myocardial Infarction Heart Failure Efficacy and Survival Study (EPHESUS) participants, 6611 had data on
The incidence and prevalence of obesity are fast increasing worldwide. Various indices have been used to measure and assess obesity. The body mass index (BMI) is the most common and practical of these indices. Overweight and obesity exert considerable adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.
BACKGROUND
Obesity and decreased kidney function have been shown to be prevalent in Western patients with heart failure; however, whether this phenomenon exists in Chinese patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) is not known.
RESULTS
One thousand and nine patients with CHF from the China Heart
