OBJECTIVE
There are substantial potential benefits to noninvasive cardiac monitoring methods, such as electrical cardiometry (EC), over more invasive methods, including significantly reduced risk of complications, lower up-front and operational costs, ease of use, and continuous monitoring. To take
We tested the hypothesis that the disproportionate increase of body surface area in obesity may lead to the overestimation of aortic stenosis (AS) severity when the aortic valve area (AVA) is indexed (AVAI) for body surface area in 1,524 patients enrolled in the Simvastatin and Ezetimibe in AS
Obesity and hypertension are associated with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Whether an increased body mass index (BMI) affects LV hypertrophy in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis independent of hypertension is not known. We used the clinical blood pressure, BMI, and echocardiographic
Most recent studies have proposed the paradoxical benefits of obesity in surgical populations. For patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic stenosis, the prognostic roles of obesity and high body mass index remain controversial. Therefore, the objective of
Obesity increases significantly the rate of postsurgical complications and mortality in patients undergoing major surgery. We present the case of a morbidly obese 65-year-old female with severe aortic stenosis and left main coronary artery disease who underwent successful aortic valvuloplasty and
OBJECTIVE
This study investigated whether overweight and obesity impacted outcome in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS).
BACKGROUND
Increased body mass index (BMI) is a strong predictor of higher cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in the general population but not among patients
Valvular heart disease has significant effect on the maternal and fetal outcome of pregnancy. The severity and extent of aortic stenosis is of great value for risk assessment and for the design of a therapeutic plan. The therapeutic plan for such patients is further complicated by severe obesity. We
We report the case of a morbidly obese 65-year-old female who presented with repeated hypotensive episodes following dialysis. She was misdiagnosed as suffering from asthma, and eventually was found to have severe aortic stenosis. Obesity has become a common and formidable obstacle to gathering
Causal risk factors for aortic valve stenosis are poorly understood, limiting the possibility of preventing the most common heart valve disease.The hypothesis was tested that genetically based obesity measured by body mass index is causally associated with BACKGROUND
Previous studies showed that metabolic syndrome is associated with aortic valve calcification (AVC) and poor outcomes in aortic stenosis (AS). However, if these associations change and how body fat impacts the prognosis of patients in late stage of the disease have been not yet
BACKGROUND
Severe aortic stenosis (AS), leads to pathological left ventricular remodeling that may worsen with concomitant overweight and obesity (OW/O).
METHODS
We aimed to prospectively analyze the impact of OW/O on ventricular remodeling in severe AS, by evaluating the percentage of
UNASSIGNED
The aim of this study was to examine the association of overall and abdominal obesity with aortic valve stenosis (AVS) incidence in two prospective cohorts.
UNASSIGNED
We used data from the Cohort of Swedish Men and the Swedish Mammography Cohort, involving 71 817 men and women who were
Normalization of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is expected after successful aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS), but is not always observed. We tested the impact of body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 on persistent post-AVR LV hypertrophy. In the
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the study was to identify clinical predictors of progression of aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND
The natural history of valvular aortic stenosis includes a latency period followed by an unpredictable progression. Recent investigations have shown an association between risk
