Abstract 4144999: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Tetrology of Fallot Patients and Relationship to Obesity

Circulation

Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and adverse cardiac changes such as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and in TOF higher body mass index (BMI) contributed to increase risk. In the presence of obesity, RVEDVi may underestimate the severity of RV volume load. mL/m2, p=0.04; RVEDVi 157.4±21.5 vs RVEDV 297.6±56.6

Obesity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the REDUCE LAP?HF II trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Increasing severity of obesity is associated with multiple characteristics that may contribute to the development or worsening of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Echocardiography demonstrated increased CO with obesity, but not estimated right atrial (RA) pressure or E/e′. of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2.

Finerenone, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: A prespecified analysis of the FINEARTS‐HF trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status. BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.

The First 60 Minutes of a Heart Attack: The Golden Hour

Wellnest

However, recent studies have observed that people below 40 are also experiencing heart attacks due to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and social and mental stress. Obesity or being overweight can increase the risk of heart disease. So, how do you recognize a heart attack?
