OBJECTIVE
Obesity is believed to be one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Western countries. However, the effects of obesity should be continuously examined in the Japanese population because the average bodily habitus differs among countries. In this study, we collectively
BACKGROUND
Obesity is strongly associated with coronary heart disease and it is known as an independent risk factor. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of phase II comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program on obesity indexes, functional capacity, lipid profiles, and fasting
BACKGROUND
Inflammation during obesity is associated with higher risk of metabolic syndrome and coronary artery disease (CAD). Activation of the inflammatory toll-like receptor (TLR)/nuclear factor κB (NFκB) signaling in monocytes contributes to inflammation. Weight loss after bariatric surgery
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to examine the association of pericardial fat with the presence of coronary plaques.
BACKGROUND
Waist circumference, reflecting abdominal obesity, is a risk factor of metabolic syndrome and coronary artery disease (CAD). Adipose tissue secretes many factors
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an imprecise, inappropriate monitor of atherosclerosis severity and by inapplicable extrapolation CHD risk factors are incorrectly assumed to be causes of atherosclerosis. Taking into account (1) the misuse and substantial diagnostic error of CHD, (2) errors in
BACKGROUND
Cardiac multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) scanners permit visualization of the coronary arteries with an overall good sensitivity (sens) and specificity (spec). However, in obese patients (pts), who are at higher risk to develop coronary artery disease (CAD), image quality of
The aim was to assess the relationship between eNOS 4a/b and -786T/C polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (CAD), obesity and diabetes mellitus. Total number of 1313 patients underwent coronary angiography, 939 had significant CAD (stenosis of > or = 1 coronary artery > or = 50%), 222 had
BACKGROUND
Excessive body weight is known to cluster with cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, but it is not clear which anthropometric obesity measure provides best independent predictive value of coronary artery disease (CAD).
RESULTS
We explored associations between CAD and four different obesity
Overweight/obesity is a complex multifactorial chronic disorder, and the American Heart Association (AHA) has recently classified as a modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease (CAD). This study (1) evaluates the association between CAD in a patient population mostly overweight (MOP) and
Of the major risk factors of coronary heart disease dyslipoproteinemia, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes are nutrition related and can be considered of metabolic origin. Dyslipoproteinemia affects 2/3 of the adult population. The risk of coronary heart disease can be decreased 2-5 fold by
In order to determine the effect of obesity on the results of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, we compared 250 obese patients undergoing CABG procedures between 1984 and 1987 with 250 age- and sex-matched controls of normal body mass index (BMI) undergoing CABG in the same period. The
OBJECTIVE
To summarize current work identifying inflammatory components that underlie associations between obesity-associated type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease.
RESULTS
Recent studies implicate immune cells as drivers of pathogenic inflammation in human type 2 diabetes. Inflammatory
BACKGROUND
Overweight is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk which is only partially explained by conventional risk factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] plasma levels and apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] phenotypes in relation to coronary heart disease
BACKGROUND
Although obesity is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), observational studies have found that persons with obesity have a better prognosis in established CAD compared with those with a normal body weight, suggesting that the underlying risk factors might differ
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety of dobutamine stress transesophageal echocardiography (DS-TEE) in the evaluation of potential coronary artery disease in obese patients. Obese patients tend to have a higher prevalence of hypertension, coronary artery disease, and sleep apnea
