The impact of metabolic syndrome on left ventricular myocardial performance

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is common and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent prospective studies suggested that MetS is associated with increased risk of heart failure. In the present cross-sectional study, we examined the association between left ventricular myocardial performance with MetS. A total of 550 non-diabetic subjects, 275 without MetS and 275 with MetS, matched for gender, age and body mass index and free of clinically apparent macrovascular disease were studied. MetS was diagnosed using the NCEP-ATP III criteria. Left ventricular myocardial performance was assessed using the Tei index. Both men and women with MetS had higher values of the Tei index, indicating worse myocardial performance, in comparison with those without MetS (p < 0.001). Participants with a cluster of more components of the MetS had higher Tei index values than those with fewer components of the MetS. In addition, among normotensive subjects, those with MetS had significantly higher Tei index values than subjects without MetS. Multivariate linear regression analysis, after adjustment for age and body mass index, demonstrated that MetS status and from the individual components of the MetS, high fasting blood ...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
