Abstract Background N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations are lower in patients with obesity. The interaction between body mass index (BMI) and NT-proBNP with respect to heart failure (HF) risk remains incompletely defined. pg/mL lower NT-proBNP per 1 kg/m 2 higher BMI; p<0.001). vs. 0.6%, 1.3%

Background We aimed to clarify the existence and pathological features of obesity cardiomyopathy (OCM) in Japan using our series of autopsy cases. We compared cases of OCM with those with obesity without cardiac hypertrophy (OB) and normal weight without cardiac hypertrophy (normal control).

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.
