Effects of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy on left ventricular myocardial work in obese patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundObesity is a global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric surgery, but its effect on cardiac functions remains unclear.

Abstract WP319: Reliability and validity of self-reported risk factors for stroke and dementia

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP319-AWP319, February 1, 2025. This can be mitigated through targeting modifiable risk factors. Identification of those at-risk through screening tools could be facilitated by inclusion of self-reported risk factors rather than reliance on clinical data.

New Study Reveals 65 and Older Population Lowered Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and Weight Using Mobile Technology

DAIC

Eighty percent of heart attacks and strokes are preventable. partially because its key risk factor, high blood pressure, is a ‘silent killer,’ and most patients have no symptoms before their first heart attack or stroke. Among participants with baseline body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2, 70.4%

Abstract 4148106: Hemophilia and Cardiovascular disease in the United States: Prevalence, Risk factors, and outcomes.

Circulation

Owing to improved management, the life expectancy of patients with hemophilia has increased significantly and predisposes them to risk of cardiovascular diseases and thrombotic events. The primary outcome was to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with hemophilia compared to the general population.

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A133-A133, February 1, 2024. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies suggest a causal effect of Fe status on ischemic stroke (IS). 0.96]), or BMI (TSAT: 1.18 [1.04-1.34]; Higher Fe status is associated with a greater risk of CES independent of CVD risk factors.

Dr. Paddy Barrett

When broken down by disease category, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, stroke, osteoarthritis, hypertension and stroke, the pattern is the same. The first thing to realise is that while healthy centenarians rely on genetics, we must rely on risk factor control. Aggressively control the risk factors.
